Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in men. Pelvic radiotherapy is commonly used in both radical and palliative treatment for prostate cancer. Radiation-induced adverse effects might be seen on adjacent healthy tissues (such as vessels, bones and soft tissues) with the exception of targeted area. Particularly several years after radiotherapy, low back and hip pain may occur due to bone edema, necrosis or fractures. In these cases, whether complaints due to the degenerative, metastatic or radiotherapy complications must be examined and appropriate treatment should be arranged. For this purpose, we present our elderly patient who received radiotherapy for prostate cancer, and thereafter, developed bilateral avascular hip necrosis and pelvic insufficiency fractures.

Özet

Prostat kanseri, erkeklerde en sık görülen malignitelerden biridir. Pelvik radyoterapi, radikal veya palyatif prostat kanseri tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Radyoterapi, hedef kanser bölgesi dışındaki komşu sağlam dokularda (damar, sinir, kemik gibi) komplikasyonlar meydana getirebilir. Özellikle radyoterapiden yıllar sonra ortaya çıkabilen kemiklerde ödem, nekroz veya kırıklara bağlı bel ve kalça ağrıları meydana gelebilir. Bu olgularda şikayetlerin dejeneratif, metastatik veya radyoterapi komplikasyonuna mı bağlı olduğu tetkik edilmeli ve tedavi buna göre düzenlenmelidir. Biz de bu amaçla, prostat kanserinde pelvik radyoterapi uygulanan ve buna bağlı bilateral kalça avasküler nekrozu ve pelvik yetersizlik kırıkları gelişen yaşlı erkek hastamızı sunuyoruz.
