Prediction Factors of Radiation Esophagitis in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Supraclavicular Radiotherapy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate demographic and dosimetric parameters which may link with esophagitis in patients with breast cancer receiving three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy to the supraclavicular fossa.

Materials And Methods: We examined 27 breast cancer patients with supraclavicular metastases. All patients were treated with radiotherapy (RT) with a prescribed dose of 40.

Brain Metastasis from Breast Cancer: risk factors and radiotherapy perspective from a tertiary Middle Eastern facility.

Backgrounds: Breast cancer represents the second most frequent cause of brain metastases after lung cancer. Previous studies have identified the subgroups of patients with triple-negative and HER2-positive as having an increased risk for the development of brain metastases. We are not aware in Kurdistan - Iraq of any national studies that are in parallel with these findings.

Mode of Presentation of Laryngeal Cancer: A Single Radiotherapy Institute Experience in Iraq.

Purpose: Laryngeal cancer is relatively common and usually presents with hoarseness due to a lesion in the glottis. We noticed that many of our patients had presented with supraglottic lesions and we could not find local literature in support of this observation. Mode of presentation and site of the lesion of these patients will be addressed in this review.
