Abstract:
The standard treatment for endometrial cancer is upfront surgery. However, surgical resection is challenging in locally advanced cases extending to the vagina, bladder, bowel, rectum, or parametria. Historically, these cases were managed palliatively due to the inability to escalate radiation dose safely and accurately, and there is a paucity of literature supporting definitive radiation for these patients. Technological advances in brachytherapy, including magnetic resonance guidance (MR-guidance) and interstitial techniques, have improved target precision and dose escalation without additional toxicity to permit curative management. We report two cases of unresectable, locally advanced endometrial cancers treated with MR-guided radiation.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
