Journal ArticleDOI
A 62 MeV proton beam for the treatment of ocular melanoma at Laboratori Nazionali del Sud-INFN (CATANIA)
G.A.P. Cirrone,Giacomo Cuttone,P. Lojacono,S. Lo Nigro,V. Mongelli,I.V. Patti,G. Privitera,Luigi Raffaele,Danilo Rifuggiato,Maria Gabriella Sabini,Vincenzo Salamone,Corrado Spatola,L. M. Valastro +12 more
TL;DR: The main features of CATANA together with the clinical and dosimetric features will be extensively reported; particularly, will be described the proton beam line, that has been entirely realized at LNS, with all its elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locally advanced rectal cancer: Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of diffusion-weighted MR imaging in the response assessment after neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy
Pietro Valerio Foti,Giuseppe Privitera,Sebastiano Piana,Stefano Palmucci,Corrado Spatola,Roberta Bevilacqua,Luigi Raffaele,Vincenzo Salamone,Rosario Caltabiano,Gaetano Magro,Giovanni Li Destri,Pietro Milone,Giovanni Carlo Ettorre +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the added value of qualitative and quantitative evaluation of diffusion weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in response assessment after neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
CATANA protontherapy facility: The state of art of clinical and dosimetric experience
Giacomo Cuttone,G.A.P. Cirrone,G. Di Franco,V. La Monaca,S. Lo Nigro,J. Ott,S. Pittera,G. Privitera,Luigi Raffaele,A. Reibaldi,Fabrizio Romano,Maria Gabriella Sabini,Vincenzo Salamone,M. Sanfilippo,Corrado Spatola,L. M. Valastro +15 more
TL;DR: The follow-up results demonstrated the efficacy of proton beams and encouraged the CATANA Eye Protontherapy facility in the fight against cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uveal melanoma: quantitative evaluation of diffusion-weighted MR imaging in the response assessment after proton-beam therapy, long-term follow-up.
Pietro Valerio Foti,Antonio Longo,Michele Reibaldi,Andrea Russo,Giuseppe Privitera,Corrado Spatola,Luigi Raffaele,Vincenzo Salamone,Renato Farina,Stefano Palmucci,Andrea Musumeci,Rosario Caltabiano,Marco Ragusa,Cesare Mariotti,Teresio Avitabile,Pietro Milone,Giovanni Carlo Ettorre +16 more
TL;DR: In ocular melanoma treated with PBT, ADC variations precede volume changes, thus expanding the role of DWI from diagnostic to prognostic, and both pretreatment ADC and early change in ADC value may predict treatment response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical application of proton beams in the treatment of uveal melanoma: the first therapies carried out in Italy and preliminary results (CATANA Project).
Corrado Spatola,Giuseppe Privitera,Luigi Raffaele,Vincenzo Salamone,Giacomo Cuttone,P. Cirrone,Maria Gabriella Sabini,Salvatore Lo Nigro +7 more
TL;DR: The literature data show that charged particle therapy has allowed an optimal local control in the treatment of uveal melanomas, superior to that obtained with plaquetherapy, a metastatic rate slightly better than enucleation reports, and a survival rate of almost 90% at 5 years.
