France
Dr. Pierre Graff-Cailleaud is a distinguished radiation oncologist serving as the Head of the Radiation Oncology Department at Institut Curie’s Saint-Cloud Hospital in France. His medical expertise encompasses the treatment of various cancers, including those of the prostate, thyroid, bladder, kidney, head and neck, and urogenital regions. Throughout his career, Dr. Graff-Cailleaud has contributed significantly to oncological research. Notably, he co-authored the study "Recommendations for Planning and Delivery of Radical Radiotherapy for Localized Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder," which provides comprehensive guidelines to enhance the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy in bladder cancer treatment. Another significant publication is "Distinct Outcomes of Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients after Distant Failure According to p16 Status: Implication in Therapeutic Options." This research examines how p16 status influences patient outcomes in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, offering insights that could refine therapeutic strategies.

Background: The Robotic Thyroidectomy (RT) is a minimally invasive surgical technique initially developed in Asia, for cultural reasons. The principles of its use are still undergoing development. Showing to all appearances satisfying outcomes, the long-time safety and medico-economic benefit of the procedure have not been established yet. The use of this technique in thyroid carcinology remains rare, and provides specific risks, not encountered with the Open Thyroidectomy (OT).
Patient Findings: We report the case of a patient who underwent a two-stages RT for a pT3 follicular carcinoma causing dissemination along the surgical track, in spite of the radioactive iodine treatment.
Summary: This case reminds us the limits of the RT in the oncologic field and the lack of perspective, with the recent discovery of the r.. View More»
