RESUMO
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women in Spain and its annual incidence is rapidly increasing. Thanks to the screening programs in place, nearly 90% of breast cancer cases are detected in early and potentially curable stages, despite the COVID-19 pandemic possibly having impacted these numbers (not yet quantified). In recent years, locoregional and systemic therapies are increasingly being directed by new diagnostic tools that have improved the balance between toxicity and clinical benefit. New therapeutic strategies, such as immunotherapy, targeted drugs, and antibody-drug conjugates have also improved outcomes in some patient subgroups. This clinical practice guideline is based on a systematic review of relevant studies and on the consensus of experts from GEICAM, SOLTI, and SEOM.

This patient had bone metastases when he was diagnosed. Maintenance treatment, a much discussed topic nowadays, achieved a dramatic complete response.

Skull base chondrosarcomas represent 2% of all chondrosarcomas. They usually have a low grade of malignity and a complete resection may be curative. However, often they are considered irresectable because of the difficult approach and another kind of treatment is needed. We present a 54-year-old male case who, after weeks suffering from diplopia, was diagnosed with skull base chondrosarcoma and treated with the CyberKnife system. A review of radiosurgery techniques for skull base neoplasms is carried out.
