Abstract
Primary tumours of the salivary glands account for about 5 to 10% of tumours of the head and neck. These tumours represent a multitude of situations and histologies, where surgery is the mainstay of treatment and radiotherapy is frequently needed for malignant tumours (in case of stage T3-T4, nodal involvement, extraparotid invasion, positive or close resection margins, histological high-grade tumour, lymphovascular or perineural invasion, bone involvement postoperatively, or unresectable tumours). The diagnosis relies on anatomic and functional MRI and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration for the diagnostic of benign or malignant tumors. In addition to patient characteristics, the determination of primary and nodal target volumes depends on tumor extensions and stage, histology and grade. Therefore, radiotherapy of salivary gland tumors requires a certain degree of personalization, which has been codified in the recommendations of the French multidisciplinary network of expertise for rare ENT cancers (Refcor) and may justify a specialised multidisciplinary discussion. Although radiotherapy is usually recommended for malignant tumours only, recurrent pleomorphic adenomas may sometimes require radiotherapy based on multidisciplinary discussion. An update of indications and recommendations for radiotherapy for salivary gland tumours in terms of techniques, doses, target volumes and dose constraints to organs at risk of the French society for radiotherapy and oncology (SFRO) was reported in this article.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radiofrequency ablation for benign thyroid nodules has a low rate of complications in experienced hands for selected indications, but tracheal necrosis is a major complication. CASE REPORT A 60 year-old female patient underwent percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of an unesthetic benign isthmic thyroid nodule. The procedure was performed with a cooled electrode, using the "moving shot" technique on a trans-isthmic approach, under general anesthesia. Postoperative course was complicated by dysphonia and cervical pain implicating a third-degree skin burn of the medial cervical region progressing to severe soft-tissue and cervical tracheal necrosis. DISCUSSION Risk factors in the present case included the general anesthesia, isthmic location and thyroid nodule volume. To avoid this kind of complication, the procedure should be performed under local anesthesia, using cooled dextrose solution hydrodissection between trachea, thyroid and skin. Ahead of radiofrequency ablation, patients should be informed of possible major complications, especially if the indication is cosmetic.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is advocated in the treatment of cancer of over 50 % of patients. It has long been considered as a focal treatment only. However, the observation of effects, such as fatigue and lymphopenia, suggests that systemic effects may also occur. The description of bystander and abscopal effects suggests that irradiated cells may exert an action on nearby or distant unirradiated cells, respectively. A third type of effect that involves feedback interactions between irradiated cells was more recently described (cohort effect). This new field of radiation therapy is yet poorly understood and the definitions suffer from a lack of reproducibility in part due to the variety of experimental models. The bystander effect might induce genomic instability in non-irradiated cells and is thus extensively studied for a potential risk of radiation-induced cancer. From a therapeutic perspective, reproducing an abscopal effect by using a synergy between ionizing radiation and immunomodulatory agents to elicit or boost anticancer immune responses is an interesting area of research. Many applications are being developed in particular in the field of hypofractionated stereotactic irradiation of metastatic disease.

Abstract
Parotid pleomorphic adenoma is the most frequent tumor of salivary glands. The prognosis depends on the recurrences because they could lead to iatrogenic events (facial paralysis). Moreover the risk of malignant transformation increases with the number of local relapses. This article aims at reviewing histological and radiological criteria and the surgical techniques. To improve local control, adjuvant irradiation (in first intention or after recurrence) may be useful but is still controversial for benign tumors in young patients with a risk of radio-induced cancer. We listed studies in which adjuvant radiotherapy was used so as to define its place in the treatment strategy. Prognostic factors were found by some authors. Other studies have to be done before strong evidence-based recommendations are issued.

Abstract
The treatment of carcinomas of unknown primary revealed by cervical lymphadenopathy is based on neck dissection and nodal and pan-mucosal irradiation to control the neck and avoid the emergence of a metachronous primary. The aim of this review was to assess diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and criteria that may be used for a customized selective approach to avoid severe toxicities of pan-mucosal irradiation. A literature search was performed with the following keywords: cervical lymphadenopathy, unknown primary, upper aerodigestive tract, cancer, radiotherapy, squamous cell carcinoma, variants. The diagnostic workup includes a head and neck scanner or MRI, ((18)F)-FDG PET CT, a panendoscopy and tonsillectomy. Squamous cell carcinoma represents over two thirds of cases. The number of metastatic cervical nodes, nodal level, and histological variant (associated with HPV/EBV status) may determine the primary site origin and might be weighted for the determination of radiation target volumes on a multidisciplinary basis. A selective customized approach is relevant to decrease radiation toxicity only if neck and mucosal control is not impaired. Although no recommendation can yet be made in the absence of sufficient level of evidence, the relevance of systematic pan-mucosal irradiation appears questionable in a number of clinical situations. Accordingly, a customized selective redefinition of target volumes may be discussed and be prospectively evaluated in relation to the therapeutic index obtained.

Abstract
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) or Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is an autosomic dominant disorder, which is characterized by the development of multiple arteriovenous malformations in either the skin, mucous membranes, and/or visceral organs. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) may either rupture, and lead to life-threatening hemoptysis/hemothorax or be responsible for a right-to-left shunting leading to paradoxical embolism, causing stroke or cerebral abscess. PAVMs patients should systematically be screened as the spontaneous complication rate is high, by reaching almost 50%. Neurological complications rate is considerably higher in patients presenting with diffuse pulmonary involvement. PAVM diagnosis is mainly based upon transthoracic contrast echocardiography and CT scanner examination. The latter also allows the planification of treatments to adopt, which consists of percutaneous embolization, having replaced surgery in most of the cases. The anchor technique consists of percutaneous coil embolization of the afferent pulmonary arteries of the PAVM, by firstly placing a coil into a small afferent arterial branch closely upstream the PAVM. Enhanced contrast CT scanner is the key follow-up examination that depicts the PAVM enlargement, indicating the various mechanisms of PAVM reperfusion. When performed by experienced operators as the prime treatment, percutaneous embolization of PAVMs, is a safe, efficient and sustained therapy in the great majority of HHT patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study was to determine the clinical and pathological prognostic factors in locally advanced oral cavity cancers treated by primary surgery. METHODS All patients treated by primary surgery with free-flap reconstruction for locally advanced oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma in our institution between 2000 and 2010 were included in this retrospective study. Overall, cause-specific and locoregional disease-free survivals were determined by Kaplan-Meier analyses. Clinical and histological prognostic factors were assessed by univariate (Log Rank tests) and multivariate (Cox models) analyses. RESULTS A total of 149 patients (102 men and 47 women; mean age=61.3±12.1 years) were included in the study. Five-year overall, cause-specific and locoregional disease-free survivals were 55%, 68% and 71%, respectively. Age, comorbidity and tumour size (histological evaluation) were significantly correlated with overall survival (P<0.05). Age, tumour size, bone invasion and surgical margins were significantly correlated with locoregional disease-free survival (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The main prognostic factors identified in this study were clinical (age and comorbidity) and histological (pathological tumour size, bone invasion and surgical margins).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of tumour multifocality in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). METHODS All patients who underwent total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection for PTMC in our institution between 1990 and 2007 were included in this retrospective study. Statistical correlations between tumour multifocality and various clinical or pathological prognostic parameters were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 160 patients (133 women and 27 men; mean age: 47.8±13.7 years) were included in this study. Tumour multifocality was demonstrated in 59 (37%) patients. Central neck metastatic lymph node involvement was identified in 46 (28%) patients. No statistical correlation was demonstrated between tumour multifocality and the following factors: age, gender, tumour size, extension beyond the thyroid, metastatic central neck lymph node involvement and risk of recurrence. A tumour diameter greater than 5mm was associated with a higher risk of recurrence (P=0.008). CONCLUSION Tumour multifocality does not appear to have a prognostic impact in PTMC.

Abstract
Disc arthroplasty is the replacement of a painful pathological intervertebral disc by a prosthesis, which, unlike spinal fixation, has the advantage of retaining vertebral mobility in the segment concerned. The success of the procedure is dictated by the indication. The radiologist must look for radiographic arguments indicating or contraindicating fitting an implant, and particularly for the presence of facet arthritis which will prompt the surgeon to choose an arthrodesis. Moreover, radiological information plays a major part in preparing for a surgical procedure, as far as access to the disc via the anterior approach is concerned and assessment by CT angiography of the risk of vascular complications. After insertion, radiological monitoring using dynamic X-ray images checks that the implant is correctly positioned and that mobility is restored. In the long term, it can detect complications related to the prosthesis and premature wear to other points of support such as adjacent discs and the facet joints.

Abstract
PURPOSE Manual delineation of dental structures is too time-consuming to be feasible in routine practice. Information on dose risk levels is crucial for dentists following irradiation of the head and neck to avoid postextraction osteoradionecrosis based on empirical dose-effects data established on bidimensional radiation therapy plans. MATERIAL AND METHODS We present an automatic atlas-based segmentation framework of the dental structures, called Dentalmaps, constructed from a patient image-segmentation database. RESULTS This framework is accurate (within 2 Gy accuracy) and relevant for the routine use. It has the potential to guide dental care in the context of new irradiation techniques. CONCLUSION This tool provides a user-friendly interface for dentists and radiation oncologists in the context of irradiated head and neck cancer patients. It will likely improve the knowledge of dose-effect correlations for dental complications and osteoradionecrosis.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation may interfere with electric components of pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. The type, severity and extent of radiation damage to pacemakers, have previously been shown to depend on the total dose and dose rate. Over 300,000 new cancer cases are treated yearly in France, among which 60% are irradiated in the course of their disease. One among 400 of these patients has an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator. The incidence of pacemaker and implanted cardioverter defribillator increases in an ageing population. The oncologic prognosis must be weighted against the cardiologic prognosis in a multidisciplinary and transversal setting. Innovative irradiation techniques and technological sophistications of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (with the introduction of more radiosensitive complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors since 1970) have potentially changed the tolerance profiles. This review of the literature studied the geometric, dosimetric and radiobiological characteristics of the radiation beams for high energy photons, stereotactic irradiation, protontherapy. Standardized protocols and radiotherapy optimization (particle, treatment fields, energy) are advisable in order to improve patient management during radiotherapy and prolonged monitoring is necessary following radiation therapy. The dose received at the pacemaker/heart should be calculated. The threshold for the cumulated dose to the pacemaker/implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (2 to 5 Gy depending on the brand), the necessity to remove/displace the device based on the dose-volume histogram on dosimetry, as well as the use of lead shielding and magnet are discussed.

Abstract
Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck. Wain's criteria (peripheral palisading, association with SCC, high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, high mitotic rate, solid growth), anti-34BE12 and CK 5/6 staining, and absence of neuroendocrine markers are mandatory for the diagnosis of BSCC. Its increasing incidence parallels that of human papilloma virus (HPV)-positive tumours for the oropharyngeal subsite. On the other hand, BSCC is frequently considered a high-grade carcinoma of poorer prognosis than its SCC counterparts, mostly due to a higher rate of distant metastases. However, BSCC has similar or better locoregional control rates and a relatively better radiosensitivity than SCC. BSCC seems to have a dual behaviour depending, at least partly, on its recently described association with HPV. The basaloid subtype of SCC, owing to its particular behaviour, should be systematically investigated along with HPV and smoking status, as those factors may be determinant in the response to treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goals of this study is to evaluate and compare the irradiation received by the practitioner when performing percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty guided by CT and fluoroscopy, for precise anatomical sites. METHODS For each intervention, radiothermoluminescent dosimeters were carefully positioned on both orbitals, both hands, and both ankles of the practitioner. RESULTS Twenty-four vertebroplasties were performed in 18 patients and nine kyphoplasties on seven patients. The anatomical site that is most exposed to radiation is the right hand. The two other sites subjected to irradiation are the left hand and the left orbital. This study demonstrates a significant correlation between the irradiation dose and fluoroscopy duration, reflecting both the quantity of primary-beam radiation and backscattered radiation. CONCLUSION The radiation dose to radiologist is more important for kyphoplasty procedures than vertebroplasty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We describe a case of an unusual remnant tooth located in the paranasal sinus in a head and neck cancer patient. CASE REPORT A 72-year patient with a history of T3N2aM0 oropharyngeal cancer treated with chemoradiation came for systematic post-therapeutic multidetector-CT reformation (MDCT) examination. MDCT scan multi planar reformation revealed a well-limited high-density mass in his maxillary sinus, which proved to be a remnant molar tooth. Physical examination and CT imaging were performed at 26 months. Local malignancy, fungal ball and persistent oroantral fistula were ruled out. CONCLUSION The physio-pathogenesis of oroantral fistula (OAF) and causes of intra sinusal tooth as well as therapy are discussed in this article.

Abstract
The optimal timing and extent of neck dissection in the context of chemoradiation for head and neck cancer remains controversial. For some institutions, it is uncertain whether neck dissection should still be performed upfront especially for cystic nodes. For others, neck dissection can be performed after chemoradiation and can be omitted for N1 disease as long as a complete response to chemoradiation is obtained. The question is debated for N2 and N3 disease even after a complete response as the correlation between radiological and clinical assessment and pathology may not be reliable. Response rates are greater than or equal to 60% and isolated neck failures are less than or equal to 10% with current chemoradiation protocols. Some therefore consider that systematic upfront or planned neck dissection would lead to greater than or equal to 50% unnecessary neck dissections for N2-N3 disease. Positron-emission tomography (PET) scanning to assess treatment response and have shown a very high negative predictive value of greater than or equal to 95% when using a standard uptake value of 3 for patients with a negative PET at four months after the completion of therapy. These data may support the practice of observing PET-negative necks. More evidence-based data are awaited to assess the need for neck dissection on PET. Selective neck dissection based on radiological assessment and peroperative findings and not exclusively on initial nodal stage may help to limit morbidity and to improve the quality of life without increasing the risk of neck failure. Adjuvant regional radiation boosts might be discussed on an individual basis for aggressive residual nodal disease with extracapsular spread and uncertain margins but evidence is missing. Medical treatments aiming at reducing the metastatic risk especially for N3 disease are to be evaluated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) is one of the most frequent pathological forms of thyroid cancer Here, we describe the circumstances of diagnosis and the clinical and pathological characteristics of this tumour We also analyze the therapeutic management and compare it with the recent published guidelines. METHODS Between 2000 and 2006, a total of 230 patients with a PMC of the thyroid gland were included in this retrospective study. We have investigated the correlations between some pathological parameters (plurifocality, lymph node invasion...) and several factors (age, gender, tumour size...). RESULTS The diagnosis of PMC was suspected in the preoperative period in 15% of the patients, and was confirmed intraoperatively by the pathologist in 42% of the cases. Plurifocal or bilateral PMC were discovered in respectively 30 and 17% of the patients. The rate of lymph node invasion in the central neck (level VI) was 26%. An elevated tumor size was correlated with a higher rate of plurifocal or bilateral PMC and of lymph node metastasis (p < 0.05). The indications for postoperative radioiodine therapy were reduced by approxiately 50% in the second part of our study. There were no case of thyroid PMC-related death. CONCLUSIONS Even for these small tumours, tumour size remains correlated with the tumour aggressiveness. The place of radioiodine therapy in the management of thyroid PMC was progressively reduced because of the good prognosis of this tumour.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) remains palliative. Patients with MBC represent a heterogeneous group whose prognosis and outcome may be dependent on host factors. The purpose of the present study was dual: first, to draw up a list of factors easily available in everyday clinical practice requiring no sophisticated or costly methods and second, to provide results from a large cohort of women who underwent diagnostic and treatment at a single institution. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1975 to 2005, a total of 1,038 women with MBC during their follow-up were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were subsequently assigned to five groups according to the period of metastatic diagnosis. RESULTS It is shown that age at initial diagnosis, hormonal receptor status and site of metastasis are the most relevant prognostic factors for predicting survival from the time of metastastic occurrence. It is also shown that a metastasis-free interval is an easily and immediately available multifactorial prognostic index reflecting the multiparametric variability of the disease. CONCLUSION These fundamental observations may assist physicians in evaluating the survival potential of patients and in directing them toward the appropriate therapeutic decision.
