Effects of vertebral-body-sparing proton craniospinal irradiation on the spine of young pediatric patients with medulloblastoma
PURPOSE To investigate the long-term effects of vertebral-body-sparing proton craniospinal irradiation (CSI) on the spine of young patients with medulloblastoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS Six children between the ages of 3 and 5 years with medulloblastoma were treated with vertebral-body-sparing proton CSI after maximal safe resection. Radiation therapy was delivered in the supine position with p...
متن کاملLate toxicity following craniospinal radiation for early-stage medulloblastoma.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to review late toxicity following craniospinal radiation for early-stage medulloblastoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between 1963 and 2008, 53 children with stage M0 (n = 50) or M1 (n = 3) medulloblastoma were treated at our institution. The median age at diagnosis was 7.1 years (range 1.2-18.5). The median craniospinal irradiation (CSI) dose was 28.8 Gy (ran...
متن کاملSecondary Malignancy Risk Following Proton Radiation Therapy
Radiation-induced secondary malignancies are a significant, yet uncommon cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Secondary malignancy risk is dependent upon multiple factors including patient age, the biological and genetic predisposition of the individual, the volume and location of tissue irradiated, and the dose of radiation received. Proton therapy (PRT) is an advanced part...
متن کاملGrowth and Growth Hormone Secretion Following Cranial and Craniospinal Irradiation in Children with Malignant Disease
grow. The Bristol paediatric oncology and paediatric endocrinology services have collaborated to investigate the effects of chemotherapy and craniospinal irradiation on the longitudinal growth of survivors. Figure 1 shows the longitudinal height-attained growth chart of a child who grew poorly following treatment for a medulloblastoma. Our experience, and that of others, is that children treate...
متن کاملLumbar vertebral body and pars fractures following laminectomy
A 56-year-old alcoholic male incurred L5 vertebral body and bilateral L4 pars fractures with progressive L4 on L5 anterolisthesis following low-energy falls while intoxicated. Recently, he had a L3-S1 laminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis with claudication. Preoperative imaging and radiographs were negative for pars defects and instability, so an isolated decompressive surgery was performed. F...
