Malignancy in vestibular schwannoma after stereotactic radiotherapy: a case report and review of the literature.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A relation between conventional radiotherapy and the development of intracranial neoplasma is well known, but radiation-associated tumor following stereotactic radiotherapy of vestibular schwannoma is underestimated. In this article we will study this relation by doing a complete literature review on all the malignant intracranial tumors that appeared following radiosurger...
متن کاملGlioblastoma multiforme after stereotactic radiotherapy for acoustic neuroma: case report and review of the literature.
Indications for the use of radiotherapy in the management of a variety of benign intracranial neoplastic and nonneoplastic pathologies are increasing. Although the short-term risks are minimal, the long-term risks of radiation-induced de novo secondary neoplasms or malignant progression of the primary benign tumor need to be considered. There are currently 19 reported cases of tumors linked wit...
متن کاملClinical and histopathologic features of recurrent vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma) after stereotactic radiosurgery.
OBJECTIVE Stereotactic radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma entails uncertain long-term risk of tumor recurrence and delayed cranial neuropathies. In addition, the underlying histopathologic changes to the tumor bed are not fully characterized. We seek to understand the clinical and histologic features of recurrent vestibular schwannoma after stereotactic radiation therapy. STUDY DESIGN Ret...
متن کامل[18F]Choline PET/CT and stereotactic body radiotherapy on treatment decision making of oligometastatic prostate cancer patients: preliminary results
BACKGROUND A new entity of patients with recurrent prostate cancer limited to a small number of active metastatic lesions is having growing interest: the oligometastatic patients. Patients with oligometastatic disease could eventually be managed by treating all the active lesions with local therapy, i.e. either surgery or ablative stereotactic body radiotherapy. This study aims to assess the im...
متن کاملImaging Comparison between 18F-FDG-PET/CT and 18F-Flouroethyl Choline PET/CT in Rare Case of Thymus Carcinoma Exhibiting a Positive Choline Uptake
It is of great value by using PET imaging in oncology to recognize any atypical uptake not related to the underlying disease. That helps in avoiding the false positive finding and may contribute in extending the application range of used radiopharmaceuticals in further disorders. It is well known that radiolabeled choline is an essential PET tracer used currently in prostate cancer. The physiol...
