    Abstract Over the last two to three decades the non-surgical curative management of bladder cancer has significantly progressed. Increasing evidence supports the use of bladder preservation as an alternative to radical cystectomy (RC) for localised muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Radiosensitisation with chemotherapy or hypoxia modification improves the efficacy of radiotherapy. Systemic treatments play an important role in the management of localised MIBC with the benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical treatment well established. The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the radical treatment of bladder cancer, their safe combination with radical radiotherapy regimens and whether the addition of ICIs improve rates of cure are outstanding questions beginning to be answered by ongoing clinical trials. In this narrative review, we discuss the current evidence for bladder preservation and the role of systemic treatments for localised MIBC.

    Abstract Multimodality cancer therapy has led to remarkable improvements in survival of childhood and young adult cancer, with survival rates exceeding 85%. Such remission rates come with their own adverse sequelea or 'late effects'. Although the cause of these late effects is multi-factorial, radiation-related adverse effects are one of the most prevalent. Hypopituitarism is a recognised complication of irradiation of brain tumours distant to the hypothalamo-pituitary (HP) axis when the axis is included within the exposed field. Much of the data concerning the development of hypopituitarism, however, relate to early forms of photon-based radiotherapy. In this narrative review, we discuss advances in individual radiotherapy techniques currently used in treating brain tumours and their theoretical benefits based primarily on dosimetric studies. Increasingly precise radiation techniques, including advances in the delivery of photons (i.e. intensity-modulated radiotherapy) and proton beam therapy, are now available options. The premise behind these newer techniques is to reduce the dose and volume of normal tissue irradiated whilst maintaining an effective radiation dose to target tissue. When treating brain tumours distant to the HP axis the expectation, based upon dosimetric studies, is that newer forms of radiotherapy will less frequently involve the HP axis in the exposed field, and where incorporated within the field it will be exposed to a lower radiotherapy dosage. Intuitively the dosimetric studies should translate into significant reductions in the prevalence of HP dysfunction. These data are promising; however, to date there are minimal robust clinical data to determine if the theoretical benefits of these newer techniques on HP dysfunction is to be realised.

    Abstract Synovial sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin. Primary synovial sarcoma of the ear is extremely rare and to date only two cases have been published in English medical literature. Though the tumor is reported to have an aggressive nature, early diagnosis and treatment may improve the outcome. Here, we report a rare case of synovial sarcoma of the external auditory canal in an 18-year-old male who was managed by chemotherapy and referred for palliation due to tumor progression.
