Assessing radiation-induced carotid vasculopathy using ultrasound after unilateral irradiation: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Increased CCA-IMT and SWV in some segments were seen in irradiated carotids. These alterations, even in young patients, mark the need for surveillance of radiation-induced vasculopathy.TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04257968 ).PMID:35871069 | DOI:10.1186/s13014-022-02101-7

Diffusion-Weighted MRI in the Genitourinary System
In conclusion, DWI constitutes a major advancement in genitourinary imaging with a central role in decision algorithms in the female pelvis and prostate cancer, now allowing promising applications in renal imaging or in the bladder and testicular mpMRI.PMID:35407528 | DOI:10.3390/jcm11071921

Prevalence of Cerebral Small-Vessel Disease in Long-Term Breast Cancer Survivors Exposed to Both Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy Breast Cancer
Conclusion More CMBs were found in the aRCeBCS group than in the population-based controls. These vascular lesions potentially mark cerebrovascular frailty that could partially explain the well-documented association between chemotherapy and cognitive dysfunction. No support was found for a radiotherapy-related origin of CMBs.

Acute stroke secondary to carotid artery dissection in a patient with germ cell tumour: did Cisplatin play a role?.
Conclusion: Carotid artery dissection has not been reported as the cause of cisplatin-associated stroke in patients with GCT. This case demonstrates the potential for cisplatin-induced mechanisms causing carotid dissection, particularly considering the close temporal association of BEP and the event in our patient. In young patients with excellent curative potential from GCT, every effort should be made to minimise the risk of disabling side effects of BEP. After a stroke, imaging of intracranial and extracranial arteries, monitoring and correction of serum magnesium is recommended. The decision to continue or discontinue ...
