Endocrine Complications Following Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Long-term endocrine disorders are the most frequent complications in survivors of adult and paediatric nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The hypothalamic-pituitary (h-p) axis lies within the field of radiation therapy for NPC. Consequently, neuro-endocrine abnormalities due to radiation-induced damage of the h-p occur in the majority of patients followed long term. Similarly, radiation injury to ...

متن کاملDelayed Sino-nasal Complications of Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE There are only sporadic reports of delayed sino-nasal complications associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with radiotherapy. These include choanal stenosis, osteoradionecrosis, chronic sinusitis, and intranasal synechiae. Most likely, these complications are underestimated as in many institutions nasal endoscopies in NPC patients are not performed routinely. The aim o...
متن کاملSalivary Anionic Changes after Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A 1-Year Prospective Study
OBJECTIVES To investigate the salivary anionic changes of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by radiotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-eight patients with T1-4, N0-2, M0 NPC received conventional radiotherapy. Stimulated whole saliva was collected at baseline and 2, 6 and 12 months after radiotherapy. Salivary anions levels were measured using ion chromatography. RESULT...
متن کاملEarly Changes in Apparent Diffusion Coefficient for Salivary Glands during Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Associated with Xerostomia
Objective To evaluate the early changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the salivary glands during radiotherapy (RT) and their association with the degree of xerostomia at 6 months after RT in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Materials and Methods We enrolled 26 patients with NPC who underwent RT. Each patient underwent diffusion-weighted MRI of the salivary glands...
