Interdisciplinary consultation and care of the patient are therefore useful. What is the place of radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy in multimodality treatment?
View Post 15 min This content is machine translated Contrast agent in MRI Is gadolinium really a risk? Traces of gadolinium can be detected in tissues after multiple applications using modern chemical methods, even over time, but without clinical relevance or associated sequelae. Nevertheless, restrictions have recently been…

Radiation-associated angiosarcoma is more common than intuitively expected. The initial diagnosis should be made as early as possible. Paradoxically, even in this radiation-induced tumor, re-irradiation is a good therapeutic option.

Combined radiochemotherapy with classical cytotoxics and specific inhibitors of molecular targets increases the therapeutic breadth and is part of clinical routine in many tumor entities. Classical cytotoxics quantitatively and qualitatively…
