title: Radiation recall with oxaliplatin: report of a case and a review of the literature.
abstract: Oxaliplatin is a new platinum derivative that has significant activity in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma. Some of these patients may have been previously treated with radiotherapy. The interaction of radiotherapy with oxaliplatin needs to be further studied. We report a patient with advanced colonic carcinoma who was treated with concomitant chemoirradiation with oxaliplatin and developed a peculiar dermnatitis in the irradiated field after being exposed to subsequent chemotherapy with oxaliplatin.
