Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Summary

Re-irradiation of previously treated high-grade liposarcoma is feasible and safe. Careful patient selection allows for successful re-irradiation, improving outcomes for recurrent tumors.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Radiation Oncology

Background:

External beam radiation therapy dogma contraindicates re-irradiation due to tissue risks.
High-grade liposarcoma has a poor prognosis and frequent recurrences.

Observation:

A case of multiply recurrent liposarcoma was treated with re-irradiation of an extended field.
The re-irradiation field encompassed the gross recurrent tumor and previously irradiated areas.

Findings:

The patient experienced a very good cosmetic outcome.
The patient remained disease-free for 3 years post-treatment.

Implications:

Challenging established dogmas on re-irradiation can improve care for selected patients.
Careful patient selection enables safe and effective re-irradiation of recurrent high-grade tumors.
Re-irradiation can lead to improved clinical outcomes in recurrent liposarcoma.
