the burden of Radiation Induced central nervous system tumors a single institution s experience
Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology, 2006Co-Authors: B K Kleinschmidtdemasters, Jennifer S Kang, Kevin O LilleheiAbstract:Radiation-Induced tumors of the central and peripheral nervous systems are becoming a noticeable subset of tumors seen at referral institutions. This paper outlines a single institution s experience with 22 examples of secondary meningiomas, gliomas, and sarcomas that developed in adults. These tumors are being increasingly encountered by physicians, but the greatest burden is on the patients themselves, who not only experience the life-altering effects of the original tumor and the subsequent delayed cognitive effects of radiotherapy, but later develop a second intracranial Neoplasm. We detail a particularly poignant example of a 34-year-old man who developed a high-grade sarcoma with rhabdomyosarcomatous and osteogenic elements. Local control was difficult over the next year, and he eventually developed cerebrospinal fluid dissemination and succumbed. Although Radiation-Induced Neoplasm remain relatively infrequent numerically, each case reminds us of the need for new, less toxic, and more targeted therapies for brain Neoplasms.

Minimizing Radiation injury and neoplastic effects during pediatric fluoroscopy: what should we know?
Pediatric Radiology, 2006Co-Authors: Louis Kenneth WagnerAbstract:Radiation-Induced injuries from fluoroscopic procedures in pediatric patients have occurred, and young patients are at greatest risk of many Radiation-Induced Neoplasms. Some fluoroscopists have been injured from their use of fluoroscopy, and they are known to be at risk of Radiation-Induced Neoplasm when Radiation is not well-controlled. This article reviews the circumstances that lead to Radiation injury and delineates some procedural methods to avoid injury and limit Radiation exposure to both the patient and the fluoroscopist.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
2013Co-Authors: Iain H Anham, Frcr Frcp, Roger D Ale, Phd FipemAbstract:Should cancer survivors fear Radiation-Induced sarcomas? Sir: We read with interest the leading article in your inaugural Sarcoma issue on the subject of radiotherapy-Induced sarcomas, 1 and congratulate the author on a meticulous review of the literature. W e do, however, have some additional comments to make with respect to this important subject. First, while we would certainly agree that the absolute incidence of radiotherapy-Induced sarcomas is lowÐ and that this in itself should not suf ® ce to deter patients from receiving radiotherapy where indicatedÐ it is clear that sarcomas represent only a minority of all Radiation-Induced Neoplasm s. 2 Accordingly, readers of the review should not mistakenl
