Radiation-induced Esophagitis in Breast Cancer Patients Treated With Supraclavicular Field Irradiation.
Background/aim: The objective of this research was to assess the frequency and intensity of radiation-induced esophagitis in breast cancer patients treated with supraclavicular radiotherapy field irradiation.
Patients and methods: This study involved 100 patients with positive lymph nodes receiving radiotherapy to the breast or chest wall along with supraclavicular field irradiation, with toxicity levels assessed weekly. Treatment utilized the 3D conformal technique, and variables, such as mean and maximum dose to the cervical esophagus, mean dose to the entire esophagus, and length of the esophagus within the treated area were recorded.
Results: The occurrence of grade 2 or higher esophagitis was 48%, with patients facing the risk of developing such esophagitis at an average dose of 13 Gy. The probability of grade 2 esophagitis occurring at doses exceeding 13 Gy was statistically significantly higher (p<0.001) with an odds ratio of 24.4.
Conclusion: Limiting the mean cervical esophagus dose to <13 Gy could help reduce the frequency and severity of grade 2 or higher toxicity.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
