Radiation-Induced Sarcoma Following Treatment of Breast Cancer.
BACKGROUND: Radiation therapy (XRT) is an important modality in the treatment of cancer, and XRT is now commonly utilized in the treatment of early-stage breast cancer. However, its use has occasionally resulted in the development of secondary malignancies. We present a critical review of radiation-induced sarcoma (RIS) that develops after irradiation for the treatment of breast cancer. METHODS...
متن کاملRadiation-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities in breast cancer patients following external beam radiation therapy
Objective(s): Radiation therapy for breast cancer can induce myocardial capillary injury and increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A prospective cohort was conducted to study the prevalence of myocardial perfusion abnormalities following radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer patients as compared to those with right–sided cancer. Methods: To minimize potential confounding fact...
متن کاملDynamic MRI follow-up of radiation encephalopathy in the temporal lobe following nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy
The natural course of radiation encephalopathy following nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy remains poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics and evolution of radiation encephalopathy. A series of 162 follow-up MRI examinations from 68 NPC patients with radiation encephalopathy in the temporal lobes were analyzed retr...
متن کاملComputerized Interpretation of Dynamic Breast MRI
Magnetic resonance images are often corrupted byintensity inhomogeneity, which manifests itself as slow intensityvariations of the same tissue over the image domain. Suchshading artifacts must be corrected before doing computerizedanalysis such as intensity-based segmentation and quantitativeanalysis. In this paper, we present a fuzzy c-means (FCM)based algorithm that si...
متن کاملDynamic NMR effects in breast cancer dynamic-contrast-enhanced MRI.
The passage of a vascular-injected paramagnetic contrast reagent (CR) bolus through a region-of-interest affects tissue (1)H(2)O relaxation and thus MR image intensity. For longitudinal relaxation [R(1) identical with (T(1))(-1)], the CR must have transient molecular interactions with water. Because the CR and water molecules are never uniformly distributed in the histological-scale tissue comp...
