Reports of splenic dysfunction in patients with Hodgkin's disease who received radiation therapy to the spleen raise questions concerning impairment of splenic function and the long-term risk of bacterial sepsis in children who receive abdominal radiation for other diseases. Splenic function was studied in ...
Radiation therapy of abdominal lesions is problematic at best. The proximity of highly critical structures, tumor locations, and necessary margins combine to make prescription dose delivery with conventional 3-dimensional (3D) conformal techniques difficult. Others have tried to overcome these hurdles with newer modalities including ...
Clinical symptoms of acute radiation nephritis with nephrotic syndrome developed in a fifty-six-year-old woman after abdominal radiation therapy for an astrocytoma of the spinal cord. The diagnosis of radiation nephritis was confirmed by renal biopsy. To our knowledge, this is the first ...

OBJECTIVE: The use of imaging-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to treat thoracic and abdominal tumors is increasing. In this article, we review the process of IGRT and describe techniques to implant fiducial markers in the optimal geometry. CONCLUSION: Implantation of fiducial markers can be challenging. A better understanding of the ...

OBJECTIVES:: Abdominal wall reconstruction continues to evolve with improvement in technique and technology. This study reviews our experience with challenging full thickness (skin, muscle, and fascia) defects following tumor resections often in high-risk patients. METHODS:: All patients who underwent abdominal wall reconstruction following full thickness ...
336 non-metastatic patients who received radiation in national Wilms' Tumor Study-1 and 2 have been reviewed. Follow-up was minimum of two years. 15/273 (6%) of the favorable history patients had intra-abdominal relapse as compared to 8/44 unfavorable histology (18%) (P = 0.003). Developing intra-abdominal relapse does not ...
A new treatment policy was instituted at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1975 in an attempt to improve survival and decrease treatment time and morbidity in patients with Stage III ovarian cancer. The treatment integrated isotopic therapy with a new technique of abdominal irradiation. Patients with minimal or no residual disease after thorough surgical ...

Background: Desmoid tumours are rare benign tumours that have local "malignity". They can be locally aggressive by infiltrating adjacent vascular, nervous and bony structures. Aim: To define the role of radiotherapy in the management of desmoid tumours. Methods: Retrospective study of six extra-abdominal desmoid tumours treated with surgery and radiation ...
Radiation therapy is a proved treatment for cervical carcinoma; however, it destroys ovarian function and has been thought to ablate the endometrium. Estrogen replacement therapy is often prescribed for patients with cervical carcinoma after radiation therapy. A review of records of six ...
Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare but aggressive malignancy in children and adolescents. Prognosis is related to initial tumor resectability as well as staging of the disease based on tumor invasiveness, tumor bulk, nodal disease and metastases. We report the unusual presentation of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma with metastatic extension through the inguinal canal and encasement of the ...
Thirty-one patients with histologically confirmed FIGO Stage II adenocarcinoma of the ovary were prospectively treated in two sequential studies: 3000 rad of whole abdominal radiation therapy over 6 weeks by an open field technique followed by 2000 rad pelvic boost over 2 weeks (group 1, 16 patients, 1972-1974) or 5000 rad of pelvic ...
Patients with primary or secondary liver cancer who are not suitable for surgical resection may be treated with selective internal radiation therapy with yttrium-90. This may cause down staging of the tumor to a resectable size in some patients, and in these and other patients may prolong survival. It delivers a high dose of radiation ...
A case of intestinal pseudoobstruction occurring 30 yr after radiation therapy is described. Mechanical causes of obstruction were excluded by laparotomy. Histology of full-thickness sections of the small bowel revealed vascular ectasia and sclerosis, serosal fibrosis, neuronal proliferation within the submucosa, and degeneration of the muscle fibers of ...
