Description

The blood flow in tumors of three patients with lung cancer, cancer of the oral cavity, and metastatic lymph node was respectively evaluated before and after irradiation with color doppler flow imaging. The arterial pulsating flow in lung cancer disappeared after 30 Gy irradiation and that in cancer of the oral cavity disappeared after 15 Gy irradiation with intraarterial infusion chemotherapy. But the arterial pulsating flow in metastatic lymph node was detected during irradiation and disappeared after 40 days post-irradiation. Therefore, color doppler flow imaging seemed to be useful for evaluation of the blood flow in tumors before and after irradiation. (author)
