Article Synopsis
- Small intestinal metastasis is very rare, with only 13 documented cases, typically presenting as intestinal obstruction, and patients with metastatic esophageal cancer face a very low survival rate.
- A case study discusses a man in his 50s diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, who underwent aggressive treatment but subsequently experienced complications from small bowel metastasis.
- Unfortunately, despite surgery, the patient only survived 3 months post-operation, highlighting the serious prognosis for esophageal cancer patients who develop small bowel metastasis and the need for early diagnosis and management.
Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) is a well-established modality for treating malignancies, but its role in treatment of benign lesions has not been well explored. Herein, we present a retrospective analysis of a 7-year data regarding the benefit and the safety profile of RT for treating benign tumors in our institute.
Materials And Methods: Data of 23 patients who received RT for benign tumors from January 2015 to April 2022 were retrieved, and a retrospective analysis was conducted.
Primary Mediastinal Germ Cell Tumor (PMGCT) is a rare and heterogeneous entity. These tumors are typically diagnosed in young adults and carry a poor prognosis. We conducted this study to evaluate the role of radiotherapy on treatment outcomes and prognostic factors in PMGCT that may allow a more adapted treatment strategy to improve survival.
