Tumour radiobiology beyond fractionation

Historically it has been shown repeatedly that single high doses of radiation do not allow a therapeutic differential between tumor and critical normal tissues but dose fractionation does. The purpose of conventional dose fractionation is to increase dose to the tumor while preserving normal tissue function. Tumors are generally irradiated with 2Gy dose per fraction delivered daily to a more or...

Vascular leiomyosarcoma of thigh - A rare tumour at an unusual site.

Leiomyosarcomas of vascular origin are rare. They originate from the smooth muscles of tunica media of major blood vessels. The majority of such tumours arising in the extremities affect the femoral vascular bundle. There is limited knowledge and experience of the clinical presentation, pathological reports and results of treatment of this type of tumour. A case of primary leiomyosarcoma of fem...

An unusual presentation of a giant tumour-like lesion of the thigh.

Soft tissue swellings of the thigh, which become painful and are gradually increasing in size, should always raise the suspicion of a soft tissue tumour. We report a case of a clinically silent chronic granuloma formation, which presented 45 years later as a giant tumour-like lesion. A metallic foreign body implanted following an injury was found as the source of the tissue reaction. This is th...
