Radiation-induced sarcoma (RIS) has been reported as a late secondary malignancy following radiotherapy for various types of cancer with a median latency of 10 years. We describe an early RIS that developed in an adolescent within three years of treatment (including PD-L1 check-point inhibitor Nivolumab) of a relapsed classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and was diagnosed post-mortem. The patient died of the progressive RIS that was misleadingly assumed to be a resistant HL based on the positive PET/CT scan. Repetitive tumor biopsies are warranted in cases of aggressive and multi-drug resistant HL to validate imaging findings, ensure correct diagnosis and avoid overtreatment.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to present the prevalence of early and late radiation-induced reaction and factors affecting its formation and severity in patients after adjuvant radio- or radiochemotherapy in salivary gland cancer. Material and methods: A total of 113 patients with early and 91 with late radiation-induced reaction, irradiated in 2006-2016 were enrolled in the study. The frequency of acute mucosal radiation-induced reaction, time of onset, intensity, healing time, as well as the incidence of late radiation-induced reaction from the skin and subcutaneous tissue were analyzed. Factors that could influence the development and intensity of reaction were identified. Results: Acute severity and the presence of late radiation-induced reaction do not affect overall survival. Dosage in the tumor bed site, as well as the dosage in the nodal region, affect the severity of the acute radiation-induced mucosal reaction. The severity of the early radiation-induced reaction is higher in men, more advanced patients (higher T and N+ in TNM classification), irradiated into a larger area, and those in whom two-dimensional planning and complementary chemoradiotherapy were applied. The late reaction of the skin and subcutaneous tissue was dominated by patients irradiated in the nodal regions and those with a higher intensity of early radiation-induced reaction. Conclusions: Supplementary radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy in salivary gland cancer is associated with acceptable toxicity which has no effect on overall survival.

Abstract Background: Chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematomas (CEIHs) are a rare, late complication of radiosurgery for intracranial AVM. We present 5 cases treated mostly by surgical excision and review the literature. Methods: Patients (age 39, 42, 36, 31, 62) presented with headache, paresthesia, hemiparesis or were asymptomatic. CEIHs presented 10 to 13 years (median 12 years) post radiosurgery. Three patients had demonstrated early radiation induced changes post radiosurgery. Angiographic cure, assessed with DSA, was present in all cases except 1 case with a small nidus remnant. MRI demonstrated mixed lesions with a solid enhancing part, organized hematoma and extensive surrounding edema while three cases had also a cystic component. Results: Excision of the CEIHs with complete or partial removal of the capsule was perfomed in 4 patients and resulted in marked clinical improvement. On patient was managed conservatively with administration of steroids as surgery was judged excessively hazardous with eventual stabilization of his symptoms. Conclusions: CEIHs are rare, late complications of radiosurgery for cranial AVM. They may be asymptomatic or provoke symptoms and may be preceded by early radiation induced changes. Complete removal of CEIHS is an effective treatment. Because of the long latency period of CEIHs, patients who had radiosurgery for brain AVMs should be followed by MRI at least 10 years even after complete obliteration.

Delayed radiation damage to soft tissue and its treatment are described in detail. In the majority of cases the development of late radiation injuries were resulted from the radiation therapy of cancer. Early radiation injuries rarely occur. Most of early radiation-induced pathologic changes result from occupational radiation exposure or violation of radiation safety regulations. Nowadays we witness widespread clinical use of endovascular interventions, that can last for many hours. Concurrently, publications of research groups reported on complications in patients underwent endovascular procedures have appeared. The reported complications can be a result of increas-ing radiation dose to normal tissue over dose tolerance limits. The article presents a case of the successful treatment of early radiation ulcer on the left shoulder blade developed as a result of coronography followed by transluminal balloon angioplasty and stenting of the ramus interven-tricularis anterior (RIVA). Fibrotic tissue and radiation ulcer were excised en bloc with a cuff of healthy tissue followed by single-stage plasty with interpolated thoracodorsal musculocutaneous flap. Due to the given treatment we managed to restore the patient’s health status and improve his quality of life.
