Grave’s disease induced by radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A case report and review of the literature
Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). A number of thyroid dysfunctions are induced by damage resulting from the relatively high doses of radiation administered to the thyroid and pituitary gland during radiotherapy. Hypothyroidism constitutes the most frequent type of thyroid dysfunction induced by NPC radiotherapy, while hyperthyroidism, particularly Grave'...
متن کاملRadiation-induced squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharynx after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment outcome of radiation-induced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the nasopharynx after radiotherapy (RT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent radiation therapy for NPC, which resulted in radiation-induced SCC of the nasopharynx. RESULTS Between 1998 and 201...
متن کاملRadiation-Induced Temporal Lobe Injury for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Comparison of Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy and Conventional Two-Dimensional Radiotherapy
BACKGROUND To compare the radiation-induced temporal lobe injury (TLI) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or two-dimensional conventional radiotherapy (2D-CRT). PATIENTS AND METHODS 1276 cases of NPC treated with IMRT or 2D-CRT were retrospectively reviewed. A diagnosis of TLI was made on follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (M...
متن کاملRadiation-induced osteosarcoma of the maxilla and mandible after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
BACKGROUND The increasing incidence of radiation-induced osteosarcoma of the maxilla and mandible (RIOSM) has become a significant problem that can limit long-term survival. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association of clinicopathologic characteristics with treatment outcomes and prognostic factors of patients who developed RIOSM after undergoing radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal c...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Radiation Encephalopathy Induced by Radiotherapy for Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis
In this study, articles in English and Chinese were selected from available electronic databases prior to September 2014. The metabolic concentrations and patterns of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA), Choline (Cho), Creatine (Cr), NAA/Cr, NAA/Cho, and Cho/Cr ratios in radiotherapy-induced radiation encephalopathy by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy were extracted. A meta-analysis was performed...
