Choroidal melanoma is an ominous malignant tumor of the eye, with propensity for hematogenous metastasis to the liver, lung, and other sites. The management of choroidal melanoma is primarily with enucleation or forms of radiotherapy, including plaque radiotherapy or proton beam radiotherapy.... Despite excellent control, radiotherapy for choroidal melanoma can lead to visually disabling radiation side effects, particularly in patients with macular involvement. These side effects include cataract, retinopathy, papillopathy, and maculopathy. Radiation maculopathy is one of the most common causes of visual loss following radiotherapy and can lead to irreversible blindness. 2, record 1, English, - radiation%2Dinduced%20maculopathy

Colorectal carcinoma is an epithelial neoplastic transformation that results from the accumulation of distinct genetic alterations. There are K-RAS oncogenes on chromosome 12q and there are deletions of the tumor suppressive genes FAP, p53, and DCC on chromosomes 5, 17, and 18, respectively. The deletion of the short arm of chromosome 17 or the long arm of chromosome 18 and activation of the p53, and the deleted colorectal carcinoma(DCC) gene on chromosomes 17 and 18q, respectively, may result in the genetic alterations associated with metastasis. 1, record 6, English, - deleted%20colorectal%20carcinoma%20gene

Geographic bone destruction. The geographic pattern is the least aggressive pattern of bone destruction, as it is generally indicative of a slow-growing lesion. The margin of the lesion is well defined and easily separated from the surrounding normal bone. This margin may be smooth or irregular, but in either instance, it is usually clearly demarcated, with a short zone of transition from normal to abnormal bone. Benign bone tumors usually demonstrate geographic bone destruction. Malignant diseases(such as plasma cell myeloma and metastasis) and osteomyelitis(particularly granulomatous infections) can demonstrate a similar pattern of bone destruction, however. 1, record 7, English, - geographic%20bone%20destruction
