Imaging of Complications and Toxicity following Tumor Therapy (Medical Radiology)

Depending on their mechanism of action, the cytotoxic and targeted drugs and radiotherapy employed in oncologic treatment may cause complications and toxicities in many organ systems, with variable radiologic presentations. This comprehensive and excellently illustrated book covers the basics of therapy-induced complications and toxicities in oncologic patients, identifies their consequences for all the major organs, and describes the imaging of these impacts by means of the various radiologic modalities. By familiarizing radiologists with the most frequent and prominent toxicities that are recognizable on radiologic imaging following tumor therapy, it will facilitate identification of their early manifestations and permit differential diagnosis based on relevant findings.--[Source inconnue] Front Matter....Pages i-ix Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy....Pages 3-15 Radiotherapy....Pages 17-42 Brain: Radiotherapy....Pages 45-59 Central Nervous System Complications in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy....Pages 61-92 Therapy-Induced Changes in Head and Neck....Pages 95-111 Complications and Toxicity of Radiotherapy for the Breast, Lung and Heart....Pages 115-128 Drug-Induced Interstitial Lung Disease in Oncology Patients....Pages 129-145 Cardiovascular Toxicity and Monitoring Methods in Oncologic Patients....Pages 149-167 Pediatric Brain Tumors: Imaging of Late Effects in Pediatric Brain Tumor Survivors....Pages 171-192 Imaging of Complications and Toxicity Following Tumour Therapy: Pelvis and Genitourinary (Male)....Pages 195-214 Female Pelvis: Genital Organs....Pages 215-230 Radiotherapy Induced Changes in Spine and Spinal Contents....Pages 233-250 Bone Marrow: Chemotherapy....Pages 251-273 Imaging of Gastrointestinal Complications and Toxicity Following Tumor Therapy....Pages 277-285 Imaging Liver Complications of Cancer Therapy....Pages 287-304 Back Matter....Pages 305-314
