Relationship between radiation pneumonitis and organizing pneumonia after radiotherapy for breast cancer
BACKGROUND Radiation pneumonitis (RP) and organizing pneumonia (OP) are the two main types of lung damage that can occur after lung irradiation. The goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between RP and OP after irradiation for breast cancer. METHODS Four hundred and twenty-eight patients who underwent radiotherapy for breast cancer were identified. The whole breast was irradiate...
متن کاملRadiation 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 کاملRadiation Pneumonitis in Breast Cancer Patients Who Received Radiotherapy Using the Partially Wide Tangent Technique after Breast Conserving Surgery
PURPOSE We assessed the risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in terms of dosimetric parameters in breast cancer patients, who received radiotherapy using the partially wide tangent technique (PWT), following breast conservation surgery (BCS). METHODS We analyzed the data from 100 breast cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy using PWT. The entire breast, supraclavicular lymph node, and inte...
متن کاملRadiation Pneumonitis after Radiotherapy of Neck Lymphoma
Radiotherapy is still one of the effective means for treatment of malignant tumors up to now. Particularly, it is an indispensable effective measure for treatment of some lymphoma patients. In routine work, radiation pneumonitis (RP) is the most significant complication of acute treatment-related toxicities in lung cancer; however, serious radioactive pneumonia is rare for the radiotherapy of n...
متن کاملRisk of cardiac death after adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Women with breast cancer who are treated with adjuvant radiation have a decreased risk of local recurrence but an increased risk of mortality from ischemic heart disease. Patients with left-sided breast tumors receive a higher dose of radiation to the heart than patients with right-sided tumors. Because radiation techniques have improved over time, we investigated whether the risk of...
