Article Title: Canyons and volcanoes: The effects of radiation on the chest wall
Abstract: Tumors involving the sternum often require complete removal of the bony structure to achieve cure and prevent recurrence. The type and extent of reconstruction must be carefully selected. Full-thickness sternal defects often necessitate semirigid or rigid biocompatible prostheses and carefully transposed myocutaneous flaps. Superimposed infection on radiation-induced cancer or osteoradionecrosis involving the sternum is also observed, and optimal treatment relies on an experienced multidisciplinary team. This report describes the successful management of 2 cases of sternal involvement after radiation: a canyonlike lesion and a volcanolike lesion. © 2021 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
