To improve our understanding of hyperamylasemia secondary to parotid gland irradiation, serial serum amylase levels were measured from 12 consecutive patients who received incidental parotid irradiation during radiotherapy of their head and neck tumors. Rapid transient increases in enzyme activity, limited to the first days of radiotherapy, were consistently found. Awareness of the frequency and nature of this response may avoid unnecessary investigation and concern for abdominal pathology in this clinical setting.
为了增进我们对腮腺照射继发高淀粉酶血症的理解，我们对12例在头颈部肿瘤放疗期间意外接受腮腺照射的连续患者进行了系列血清淀粉酶水平测定。结果一致发现，酶活性迅速短暂升高，且仅限于放疗的最初几天。了解这种反应的频率和性质，可避免在此临床情况下对腹部病变进行不必要的检查和担忧。
