This study prospectively evaluated the endocrine function of 11 children treated with cranial irradintion (CRT) for brain tumors. All tumors were remote from the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Children were studied before treatment and at 3,6, and 12 months after the completion of CRT. T4, thyroid-sti
Patients with cirrhosis are frequently submitted to radiological procedures that require the administration of contrast media. Contrast media is a well-known cause of renal failure, particularly in the presence of some predisposing conditions. However, it is not known whether cirrhosis constitutes a
Background. When tangential radiation beams are used in patients with breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery, the amount of lung included in the radiation field varies because of patient anatomy and treatment technique. The question of how much lung tissue can be irradiated incidentally witho
