Radiation induced sarcoma is a rare but recognized complication of radiotherapy and is associated with poor prognosis, frequently occurs 5 years after completion of treatment. We report radiation-induced sarcoma in a 42 years old male, involving the left parietooccipital scalp region following treatment of brain tumor with craniotomy and post-operative radiation with 60Co machine. Diagnosis of ...

background : the brain is a rare site of metastases from ovarian cancer. limited data are available on prognostic factors, standard treatment, and survival. knowledge of clinical prognostic factors would help the management of patients with brain metastases. the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of clinical factors and treatment modalities on survival in patients with brain metastases...

Brain metastases (BMs) usually develop in patients with non‑small cell lung cancer. In addition to systemic therapy, radiation therapy and surgery, anti‑programmed death‑ligand 1 (PD‑L1) is another promising clinical anticancer treatment modality. However, the optimal timing drug‑drug interactions of anti‑PD‑L1 other combined treatments remain be elucidated. Treatment associated an increased ri...

Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is a mainstay of treatment in patients with both identifiable brain metastases and prophylaxis for microscopic disease. The use of WBRT has decreased somewhat in recent years due to both advances in radiation technology, allowing for a more localized delivery of radiation, and growing concerns regarding the late toxicity profile associated with WBRT. This has pro...
