Article Synopsis
- Cancer treatment often involves pelvic radiation therapy, which can impact bone health, particularly in terms of bone mineral density and blood parameters.
- This study examined changes in bone health indicators, including Z scores and alkaline phosphatase levels, in patients with pelvic malignancies over a six-month period post-treatment.
- Results indicated a significant decrease in Z scores and an increase in serum alkaline phosphatase three months after radiation therapy, highlighting a peak in bone turnover during this time.
Background: Cervical and endometrial carcinoma incidentally found in the surgical specimen with high risk pathological finding or with gross residual disease.
Material And Methods: Between 2004 and 2010, 320 cervical and endometrial cancer patients were treated with EBRT and brachytherapy after having undergone total/subtotal hysterectomy. Sixty patients were lost to follow-up.
