Radiation-induced sarcoma (RIS) is a rare complication following therapeutic external irradiation for lung cancer patients. Patients with RIS may develop recurrence or metastasis of the previous disease and also at high risk for early chest wall complications following operation, which requires close follow-up and multidisciplinary approach. We present a challenging case of RIS with a multidisciplinary teamwork in the decision-making and successful management.
放射性肉瘤(RIS)是肺癌患者接受外照射治疗后罕见的并发症。RIS患者可能会出现先前疾病的复发或转移,并且术后发生早期胸壁并发症的风险也很高,这需要密切随访和多学科方法。我们展示了一例具有挑战性的RIS病例,通过多学科团队合作进行决策并成功管理。
