[Pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy of nerve lesions following combined (surgical-radiotherapy) cancer therapy].
Classical cancer therapy (surgical and/or radiotherapeutic measures) is not uncommonly subject to late complications which frequently confront the patient and therapist with problems which are difficult to resolve. Typical examples of such late complications are damage to the nerve plexuses which are usually associated with pain, functional deficits and pareses which can hardly be influenced. The topography of these two nerve plexuses as well as the pathogenesis, clinical symptoms and therapy of plexus lesions is reported with reference to two cases: plexus lesion after combined therapy a) of a malignant testicular tumor and b) of a breast cancer.
