Abstract: | There are few clinical situations where high dose re-irradiation with curative intent is indicated in children. Because of the potential for serious late sequelae, re-irradiation is considered only in the unusual situation where there is just local recurrence and surgery and/or chemotherapy are unlikely to provide long-term control. The authors present a case of nasopharynx rhabdomyosarcoma in a child which recurred after high dose irradiation and chemotherapy and was then re-irradiated to a high dose. The child is well without any serious sequelae more than 13 years following completion of the second course of radiotherapy. |
