      Advances in Cancer Research, volume 153 provides a timely review of the biology, biochemistry, and current approaches to therapeutically target the RAS oncoprotein, the most frequently mutated oncogene family in human cancers. 2021 saw the approval of the first direct RAS inhibitor (sotorasib) for use in treating non-small cell lung cancers harboring KRAS(G12C) mutations. The successful approval and use of this drug highlights that the once “undruggable” RAS is indeed pharmacologically tractable. This volume provides an overview of efforts to develop additional approaches to therapeutically target oncogenic RAS. In addition, the reader will find excellent reviews on the history and research efforts to understand the biochemistry and oncogenic activity of RAS in human cancers.

      L’interprétation radiologique de la base du crâne est délicate car la structure anatomique de la région est singulièrement complexe.Ce nouveau volume de la collection des Syllabus de la Société française de radiologie propose un état de l’art de l’imagerie de l’orbite, du labyrinthe membraneux et de la base du crâne. Les connaissances à maîtriser pour réaliser les IRM et tomodensitométries de ces différentes régions sont détaillées. Pour chaque zone topographique sont abordées la radioanatomie et les pathologies de type infectieux, tumoral, malformatif et lésionnel. Sont également présentés la place des techniques avancées dans le diagnostic et la prise en charge des pathologies ophtalmiques, ainsi que les progrès en cours ou attendus grâce à l’intelligence artificielle dans l’étude des troubles cochléovestibulaires... plus de 500 clichés, cet ouvrage constitue la référence pédagogique actuelle sur le sujet. Il est indispensable pour les internes et radiologues qui interprètent cette région anatomique, ainsi que pour les neurologues, neurochirurgiens, ORL et ophtalmologues désireux de mieux demander et mieux comprendre les examens d’imagerie.
