Radiation necrosis mimicking tumor recurrence after chemoradiation for vaginal squamous cell carcinoma

Key Points

• Radiation necrosis can falsely appear as tumor recurrence, complicating patient management.
• Key evidence included cases where imaging showed necrosis rather than actual tumor regrowth.
• Assessment involved detailed diagnostic imaging to differentiate between the two conditions in these patients.
• Highlights the need for careful evaluation to avoid misdiagnosis, which could lead to unnecessary treatments.
