质子束治疗是一种常见类型的放射治疗,可提供质子粒子束来治疗癌症并最大程度地减少对附近健康组织的损害。在本文中,我们描述了一例20岁的男性患者,其右股骨远端骨肉瘤最终转移到胸腔。该患者接受了针对其左胸部的辐射束治疗,九个月后出现了延迟放射性脊髓病(RM)的临床和影像学发现。
Proton beam therapy is a common type of radiation treatment that delivers a beam of proton particles to treat cancer and minimize damage to nearby healthy tissue. In this paper, we describe a case of a 20-year-old male patient with osteosarcoma of the distal right femur that eventually metastasized to his thoracic cavity. The patient underwent radiation beam therapy treatment that was directed at his left thorax and nine months later presented with clinical and radiographic findings of delayed radiation myelopathy (RM).
