Radiation therapy is widely used for prostate cancer, but radiation-induced sarcomas have been rarely reported.
A 77-year-old Japanese male was diagnosed with prostate cancer and received a combined androgen blockade and radiation therapy (total dose of 76 Gy). Five years after the radiation therapy, testicular pain and dysuria appeared. Computed tomography showed a soft tissue dense mass with invasion to the right subpubic ramus and prostate, mainly to the perineum. A needle biopsy revealed the pathological features of high-grade sarcoma. The patient was diagnosed with radiation-induced sarcoma based on the cancer's occurrence in the vicinity of the radiation field.
Although irradiation is one of the important treatments for prostate cancer, the risk of radiation-induced malignancy should be considered.
放射治疗广泛应用于前列腺癌,但辐射诱发的肉瘤鲜有报道。
一名77岁的日本男性被诊断为前列腺癌,并接受了雄激素阻断联合放射治疗(总剂量76 Gy)。放射治疗五年后,出现睾丸疼痛和排尿困难。计算机断层扫描显示一个软组织密度肿块,侵犯右侧耻骨下支和前列腺,主要累及会阴。针吸活检显示为高级别肉瘤的病理特征。根据肿瘤在放射野附近发生,该患者被诊断为辐射诱发的肉瘤。
尽管放射治疗是前列腺癌的重要治疗方法之一,但应考虑辐射诱发恶性肿瘤的风险。
