Fracture after radiation therapy for femoral metastasis: incidence, timing and clinical features
We analyzed 428 femoral metastases initially treated with radiotherapy between 2002 and 2011 to clarify the clinical details of post-irradiation fractures of femoral metastasis. Patients included 161 men and 167 women, with a mean age of 62 years. Fracture incidence, fracture site, fracture risk based on X-ray images before radiotherapy, and interval from completion of radiotherapy to fracture ...
متن کاملThe insufficiencies of risk analysis of impending pathological fractures in patients with femoral metastases: A literature review☆
PURPOSE Pathologic fractures in patients with bone metastases are a common problem in clinical orthopaedic routine. On one hand recognition of metastatic lesions, which are at a high risk of fracture, is essential for timely prophylactic fixation, while on the other hand patients with a low risk of pathologic fractures should be spared from overtreatment. The purpose of this review is to identi...
متن کاملPalliation of metastatic bone pain: single fraction versus multifraction radiotherapy - a systematic review of the randomised trials.
BACKGROUND Recent randomised studies reported that single fraction radiotherapy was as effective as multifraction radiotherapy in relieving pain due to bone metastasis. However, there are concerns about the higher re-treatment rates and the efficacy of preventing future complications such as pathological fracture and spinal cord compression by single fraction radiotherapy. OBJECTIVES To under...
متن کاملSingle Fraction versus Multiple Fraction Radiotherapy for treatment of painful bone metastases: A Prospective Study; Mansoura experience
Metastatic bone disease is a commonly encountered problem in oncology practice. Many patients with cancer, though heavily treated, ultimately metastasise. One of the important sites of metastasis is bone. Bone metastases can cause severe and debilitating effects, including pain, pathological fracture, hypercalcaemia and spinal cord compression. [1] Palliative external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) i...
متن کاملRadiological response and clinical outcome in patients with femoral bone metastases after radiotherapy.
We evaluated the radiological response and clinical outcome in patients with femoral bone metastases after radiotherapy. 102 consecutive patients with femoral metastases without pathological fracture were treated by surgery or radiotherapy between 2002 and 2005. Twelve of them initially treated with surgery were excluded from this study. The remaining 90 patients with 102 lesions underwent radi...
