Radiation pneumonitis after breast-conserving surgery for cancer.
Breast-conserving surgery is the most widely used technique in breast cancer treatment. Although it is responsible for the decline in surgical morbidity, its indication in association with radiotherapy can lead to other complications. Radiation pneumonitis is a rare complication (<1% of cases), and its presentation in a non-irradiated area is even rarer. We report the case of a patient with thi...
متن کاملRisk factors for radiation pneumonitis caused by whole breast irradiation following breast-conserving surgery.
We evaluated risk factors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after whole breast irradiation following breast-conserving surgery. Four hundred and seventy-two cases underwent whole breast irradiation with tangential field following breast-conserving surgery in our hospital, between January 2005 and April 2007. Of these cases, we performed statistical analyses for 423 breasts of 413 patients, using a ...
متن کامل3D-CRT Techniques for Simultaneously Integrated Boost in Breast Conserving Radiation Therapy
Aim: To evaluate the dosimetric outcomes of two different three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) of concomitant boost delivery to the intact breast. Methods: Ten patients were evaluated using two standard opposed tangents conformal to the whole breast PTV, plus a pair of wedged fields conformal to the boost PTV; all fields have the same isocenter, placed in the whole breast plan...
متن کاملIntraoperative boost radiation effects on early wound complications in breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery
Background/aim: Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) may pose a risk for wound complications. All technical aspects of IORT regarding early wound complications were evaluated. Materials and methods: Ninety-three consecutive patients operated on with the same surgical technique and given (study group) or not given (control group) IORT were included. Wound complications were evaluated in two g...
متن کاملImpact of radiation therapy on breast-conserving therapy for breast cancer in Japanese women: a retrospective analyses of multi-institutional experience. Kansai Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy Study Group.
Whole breast radiation therapy (RT) after breast-conserving surgery is sometimes omitted in Japan; however, its impact on the outcome has not been properly evaluated. A multi-institutional retrospective study was conducted to clarify the impact of RT on local control after breast-conserving therapy (BCT). Data were collected from 3576 patients from 37 participating hospitals, of whom 1763 were ...
