[Post-surgery radiation therapy for a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta: About one case.]

We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with a breast cancer in the context of osteogenesis imperfecta. Dosimetric considerations permitting to reduce chess dose level have been performed for this patient. With a follow-up of 6 months, no imaging fracture has been revealed after radiotherapy. No evident conclusion about radiation injury from a case report could be described in case of osteogenesis imperfecta. To our knowledge, this is the first case which take into account potential radiation induced toxicities. PMID: 24629322 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
