ABSTRACT
A multimodality treatment conference with experts from across East Asia was held to establish a consensus for conversion therapy. An agreement was reached that conversion therapy was defined as surgery or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) aiming at cure after initial treatment for tumors that were initially unresectable due to adjacent organ invasion or distant metastasis.
ABSTRACT
Myocarditis is being increasingly reported as a rare complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccines. We herein report a case of myocarditis following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in a man. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) revealed an area of high signal intensity on short T1 inversion recovery (STIR) and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), which are characteristic of myocarditis. Follow-up CMRI performed six months later revealed improvement in the myocardial edema and LGE findings. CMRI is a useful non-invasive imaging modality for making an initial diagnosis as well as for follow-up in cases of myocarditis after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.
