Computed Tomography—Based Radiation Therapy of Ovarian Remnants for Symptomatic Persistent Endometriosis.

The article focuses on a study concerning computed tomography-based radiation therapy of ovarian remnants for symptomatic persistent endometriosis. It examines three patients with endometriosis causing incapacitating pelvic pain who received 3D-imaging-based external beam radiation to doses of 1,500 to 2,100 cGy. In addition, the study concludes that radiation therapy effectively induced menopause and relieved refractory pain from endometriosis.
