Radiation as a method of treatment was carried out in 16 (25.0%) out of 64 patients with tracheal adenocystoma (radical dosage of 50-70 Gy (12) and palliative--40-48 Gy (4). The dosimetric profile consisted of the cervical, cervico-thoracic, thoracic and bifurcation sections of the trachea. Complete resorption of tumor was registered in 12, partial--3, no effect in 1 cases. Three-, five- and ten-year survival was 65.2 +/- 12.6; 55.9 +/- 13.5 and 10.4 +/- 13.1%, respectively.

Giant multilocular prostatic cystadenoma (GMPC) is a rare benign pelvic mass for which complete surgical resection is an accepted treatment of choice. This report presents the first case of complete resolution of GMPC following a 3-year course of luteinising hormone-releasing hormone agonist alongside external beam radiotherapy for the concurrent treatment of unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. In addition to illustrating the imaging features of the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and radiotherapy on GMPC regression, this case provides evidence for considering ADT as an alternative, noninvasive GMPC treatment option in patients in whom surgical treatment is either contraindicated or can be made less invasive by reducing the size of GMPC prior to its removal.
