Radiographic chest assessment of lung injury following hemithorax irradiation for pleural mesothelioma.
To characterize the nature, extent and time-course of radiation-induced lung injury, and to evaluate the usefulness of serial chest radiographs in this assessment, we studied 253 chest radiographs of 46 patients with pleural mesothelioma given hemithorax irradiation according to one of four different regimens: I 20 Gy; II 55 Gy; III hyperfractionation 70 Gy; IV hyperfractionation 35 Gy followed...

متن کاملEvaluating the Expression of NOX2 and NOX4 Signaling Pathways in Rats’ Lung Tissues Following Local Chest Irradiation; Modulatory Effect of Melatonin
Lung injury is one of the major concerns for chest cancer patients that undergo radiotherapy as well as persons exposed to an accidental radiological event. Reduction/oxidation (redox) system plays a key role in lung injury via chronic upregulation of pro-oxidant enzymes. NOX2 and NOX4 are two important reactive oxygen species generating enzymes that are involved in radiation toxicity in some o...
متن کاملEvaluating proton stereotactic body radiotherapy to reduce chest wall dose in the treatment of lung cancer.
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can produce excellent local control of several types of solid tumor; however, toxicity to nearby critical structures is a concern. We found previously that in SBRT for lung cancer, the chest wall (CW) volume receiving 20, 30, or 40Gy (V20, V30, or V40) was linked with the development of neuropathy. Here we sought to determine whether the dosimetric advantag...
متن کاملPrimary Hydatid Disease of the Chest Wall Presenting as a Chest Wall Tumor
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease that is endemic in Mediterranean areas, South America, North Africa, Australia, and Iran. Although the liver and lung are the most common involved organs, but the other organs in human body also can be involved by hydatid cyst. Chest wall involvement by hydatid cyst is a rare condition, which may be misdiagnosed as chest wall tumor in the endemic areas. Herei...
