Targeted therapy-induced radiation recall
2013, European Journal of CancerCitation Excerpt :Since D’Angio et al. described the first case of RR in 1959 induced by dactinomycin,2 numerous other triggering agents have been associated with this inflammatory event. Conventional chemotherapies have frequently been reported and mostly included anthracyclins (doxorubicin),3 taxanes (docetaxel)4, alkylating agents5 and antimetabolites (gemcitabine6 and capecitabine).7 However, although high quality reviews8,9 have precisely described how anticancer agents and other drug categories (antibiotics10,11, antihypertensive12, statins12 and exposure to ultraviolet light)13 could induce RR, there is a dearth of data on RR induced by molecularly targeted compounds.
Radiation recall associated with insulin growth factor 1R antibody
2011, Practical Radiation OncologyCitation Excerpt :Radiation recall refers to an inflammatory reaction that develops within a previously irradiated field in response to administration of certain systemic agents. Initially reported in 1959 with actinomycin-D,8 a wide range of cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic agents have been subsequently reported as potential triggers of this reaction including taxanes,9 anthracyclines,10 alkylating agents,11 nucleoside analogs,12 anti-tuberculosis drugs and antibiotics,13 simvastatin,14 and tamoxifen.15 Radiation recall reactions typically manifest as dermatitis and can be associated with clinical manifestations of maculopapular eruptions, vesicle formation, ulceration, skin desquamation, and rarely, skin necrosis.16
