Adjuvant radiotherapy for endometrial cancer in a patient with pelvic kidney
There is currently few data regarding radiation tolerance of a transplanted kidney. We report on a patient with renal transplant, submitted to surgery for endometrial cancer, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She was treated with Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy(IMRT) to a dose of 45Gy to the target volume and a mean dose of 6,4Gy to the graft. After one year of follow-up, she remains free of disease and has normal renal function. Pelvic radiotherapy in the setting of a transplanted kidney is feasible with IMRT. A mean dose of 6,4Gy to the graft seems to be safe to preserve renal function
