The French Higher Health Authority’s (Haute Autorité de santé [HAS]) certification process is an important issue for a health care facility and in particular for a radiotherapy department. It is based on a quality-risk management methodology driven by the commitment and involvement of professionals.

Purpose: Lymphoma lesion detection and segmentation on whole-body FDG-PET/CT are a challenging task because of the diversity of involved nodes, organs or physiological uptakes.

The alternative analysis of A. Bianchi and M. Savastano is a valuable contribution to the understanding of the complex systems at stake in the complexation chemistry of Zr4+ by considering polynuclear species.

Despite therapeutic progress in recent years with the introduction of targeted therapies (daratumumab, elotuzumab), multiple myeloma remains an incurable cancer.

Background: Multiple myeloma is a hematological neoplasm characterized by a clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality and variable survival.

Radiation pneumonitis (RP) can be an adverse complication of radiotherapy and usually occurs as an acute reaction from 6 to 12 weeks after radiotherapy.

Mechanisms of late radio-induced lesions are the result of multiple and complex phenomena, with many entangled cellular and tissue factors.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common cancer of bone. Jaw osteosarcoma (JOS) is rare and it differs from long-bone OS (LBOS) in terms of the time of onset (two decades later), lower metastatic spread, and better survival.

Identified in 1973, somatostatin (SST) is a cyclic hormone peptide with a short biological half-life. Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are widely expressed in the whole body, with five subtypes described.

Purpose: Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is included in the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) imaging guidelines for the work-up at diagnosis and the follow-up of multiple myeloma (MM) notably because it is a reliable tool as a predictor of prognosis.
