Post-operative Post Irradiation using Ultrasound Breast Tumor

Post-irradiation angiosarcoma of the breast.

Radiation-induced second non-mammary malignancies are infrequent long term complications of the therapy. Angiosarcoma is particularly challenging to diagnose given its rare presentation (less than 1% of all malignancies of the breast) and clinical resemblance to radiation-induced skin changes [1]. Therefore, it is crucial to have a high index of suspicion in these patients. It is commonly seen ...

Post-operative radiotherapy of keloids. A 10-years experience of kilovoltage irradiation

Background: Keloids are benign fibrous dermal tumors originating from skin injury after surgery, piercing or others wounds. Materials and Methods: Sixty-two patients with keloids were treated postoperatively using orthovoltage irradiation. The total dose delivered was 12 Gy in three consecutive days, 4Gy per fraction. Treatment started 24 h after surgery. The median follow-up was 44.5 months. R...

P 104 Pterygium post-operative irradiation results and complications

Backarcund: Merkel cell carcinoma is a highly malignant cutaneous neoplasm with a high rate of local recurrence and systemic metastasis. Ten percent of all Merkel cell carcinomas involve the periocular region. We present three pStiSfltS. Patients and Methods: Patient 1 (B.H.). 86-year-old male presenting with a painless reddish tumor involving two thirds of the right upper eyelid and a basal ce...

Ultrasound-guided boost irradiation of tumor cavity after lumpectomy in breast cancer

Background:  After breast conserving surgery, most recurrences occur around the primary tumor site. This justifies the use of boost radiotherapy to the primary site of tumor. Surgical scar is not always a good surrogate for the location of the lumpectomy cavity. The aim of this study was to evaluate ultrasonic guidance for detection of the lumpectomy cavity after breast conserving surgery ...
