An Unusual “Collision Tumour” of the Prostate Gland and Rectum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collision tumours of two different histopathological processes are rare. We describe a case of a patient with known low grade prostate adenocarcinoma developing a rectal GIST, which was diagnosed with combined imaging modalities of MR and ultrasound and confirmed by transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy.

The effect of Rectal Retractor, a rectal protector on rectal dose in radical prostate radiotherapy
Introduction: The close proximity of the rectum tissue to the prostate gland results in rectal toxicity during prostate radiotherapy. Rectal Retractor (RR) is a rectal displacement technique that inserts into the rectum, as a result, the lateral and dorsal part of the rectal wall push away from high dose areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetric consequence...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common primary mesenchymal neoplasia in the gastrointestinal tract, although they represent only a small fraction of total gastrointestinal malignancies in adults (<2%). GISTs can be located at any level of the gastrointestinal tract; the stomach is the most common location (60-70%), in contrast to the rectum, which is most rare (...

growth of the prostate gland, also development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an androgen-dependent functions. Testosterone plays a major role in the prostate gland. Rat prostate gland is one of the most widely used models of animals in investigation. The rat prostate gland consisted of five lobes; the ventral, anterior, dorsal, lateral type 1 and latteral type 2. The goal of present ...
متن کاملThe effects of volumetric changes on radiation doses of the rectum and bladder during radiotherapy in patients with prostate cancer
Background: In prostate radiotherapy, changes in the volume of the bladder and rectum can influence dose delivery. In this study, cone-beam computerised tomography (CBCT) imaging was used to assess volumetric, and corresponding radiation dosimetric changes, for the bladder and rectum in patients with prostate cancer treated using VMAT. Materials and Methods: Treatment planning computed tomograp...
