چکیده
This case report suggests that magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion weighted imaging may help distinguish between tumour recurrence and radiation induced necrosis in patients previously treated for a brain tumour.

Differentiation of Tumor Recurrence from radiation-induced Necrosis Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Introduction: Surgical resection and chemotherapy alone have proven to be insufficient in treatment of patients with primary and metastatic brain tumors. As a result, the various forms of radiotherapy, such as external-beam radiation, radiosurgery have become important therapeutic adjuncts. The appearance of a new enhancing lesion after radiation treatment may represent tumor recurrence, radiat...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging of radiation-induced brain injury for differentiation from tumor recurrence.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differentiation between tumor recurrence and treatment-related brain injury is often difficult with conventional MRI. We hypothesized that the diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) could help differentiate these 2 conditions, because water diffusion may be greater for necrotic tissues in the treatment-related brain injury than for tumor tissues in recurrence. Our aim was to an...
متن کاملWhich combination of MR imaging modalities is best for predicting recurrent glioblastoma? Study of diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility.
PURPOSE To compare the added value of dynamic contrast material-enhanced ( CE contrast enhanced ) ( DCE dynamic CE ) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with that of dynamic susceptibility CE contrast enhanced ( DSC dynamic susceptibility CE ) MR imaging with the combination of CE contrast enhanced T1-weighted imaging and diffusion-weighted ( DW diffusion weighted ) imaging for predicting recurrent...
متن کاملComparison of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion weighted imaging in the differentiation of glioma recurrence from radiation necrosis: meta-analysis
Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for the diagnosis of differentiating glioma recurrence from radiation necrosis through a meta-analysis. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of all available studies of the diagnostic performance of DWI and MRS for differentiatin...
متن کاملCombined effect of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand and ionizing radiation in breast cancer therapy.
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potent endogenous activator of the cell death pathway and functions by activating the cell surface death receptors 4 and 5 (DR4 and DR5). TRAIL is nontoxic in vivo and preferentially kills neoplastically transformed cells over normal cells by an undefined mechanism. Radiotherapy is a common treatment for breast cancer as well ...
