The issue of toxicity is a primary concern for chest irradiation, because it is a dose-limiting toxicity and because in some circumstances it can alleviate the survival benefit of radiation therapy. Potential acute and delayed side effects can compromise the patients' prognosis and generate significant morbidity. Here we review on chest complications of radiation therapy, with focus on cardiac ...

To the Editor:—We read with interest the case report by Cladis and Litman regarding the intravascular injection of 3% 2-chlorprocaine. The authors are to be congratulated on their ability to postoperatively radiologically document the intravascular placement of the epidural catheter. However, we have concerns with the total dose of 2-chloroprocaine used. The authors state that they injected 4 m...

Hair dye poisoning has been rising in incidence in the recent years. Apart from the commoner manifestations of upper airway edema, rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure, cardiac toxicity, convulsions and sudden cardiac death are relatively rare complications. We discuss a case of hair dye poisoning manifesting as oropharyngeal edema along with cardiac complication. The patient survived.

Background: Postoperative radiotherapy (RT) for breast cancer is an essential part of adjuvant cancer treatment. RT reduces the risk of local recurrence by 50% and the risk of breast cancer mortality by 16%. Hypo-fractionated regimens are increasingly being used as they involve fewer treatment sessions and, in terms of tumor control, the effects of conventionally fractionated and hypo-fractiona...
