Dosimetric effects of repeat computed tomography scan during radiotherapy planning in esophagus carcinoma.

Aim Of Study: The aim was to assess the potential reduction in the doses to organs at risk (OARs) and target organ volume by doing replanning on repeat computed tomography (CT) scan during the 4 week of radiation therapy (RT).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four histologically proven patients of inoperable esophagus carcinoma were studied. All patients received induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Successful treatment of pulmonary artery aneurysms secondary to possible Behçet's disease.

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) secondary to Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare condition. The commonest presentation is hemoptysis, which can be fatal.
