Reduction of radiation pneumonitis by V20-constraints in breast cancer
INTRODUCTION Adjuvant local-regional radiotherapy (LRRT) is routinely recommended for breast cancer patients. It is well known being related to pulmonary side-effects. We studied post-RT radiological changes on X-ray and CT, and correlated the findings with Quality of Life (QoL), common dosimetric factors and co-variates. The results were compared with a previously reported cohort of 137 irradi...
متن کاملRadiation pneumonitis and pulmonary function with lung dose–volume constraints in breast cancer irradiation
PURPOSE We studied symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) and changes in pulmonary function tests (PFTs) after loco-regional radiotherapy (LRRT) with V20 lung constraints in breast cancer (BC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-four women underwent PFTs before and 5 months after 3D planned LRRT for BC. The incidentally irradiated ipsilateral lung V20 was minimised to <30%. Patients were monitored fo...
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...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولInvestigating of relationship between the parameters related to the treatment planning and the biological parameters in radiation induced pneumonitis in breast cancer patients
Introduction: The purpose in this study is to analyze of DVH parameters as predictors of radiation pneumonitis and investigation on the relationship between dosimetric and clinical parameters based on PFTs as response in NTCP model and therefore achieve to lung dose- response relation in breast cancer patients. Prescribed dose to treatment volumes was 50 Gy in 2.0 Gy/fractions ...
