Life expectancy of most patients with differentiated thyroid cancer is normal, so adverse treatment effects should be minimized. Lower activities of radioiodine for ablation of thyroid remnants are non-inferior to higher activities and quality of life can be maintained by preparation of radioiodine remna...
Lingering Side Effects After Radiotherapy ‘Cure’ One year after 59-year-old Richard Wayman received radiotherapy for cancer of the tonsils, he began feeling a “painful tingling” in his legs. Within weeks, he was struggling to walk and was admitted to the hospital for x-rays, scans and ...
Radiotherapy and targeted therapy are essential treatments for patients with brain metastases from human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. However, the combination of radiotherapy and targeted therapy still needs to be inv
Especially due to the radiosensitive mucosa severe radiotherapy induced sequelae can occur, acute oesophagitis and strictures as late toxicity being the most frequent side-effects. In this review we focus on oesophageal side effects derived from treatment of gastrointestinal cancer and secondly provide ...
