I have no knowledge of the study or it's publication;
I am aware of the side effects of Radiation Oncology and
the dose/target implications for adjacent tisues. Typically,
there exists a cost/benefit trade-off between benefit and
damage. Radiaton kills tumors and saves lives at the cost
of otherwise healthy tissue. Life is extended at a cost.
Ledderhose is an annoying and debilitating, non-lethal
malady. Radiation therapy might "stop" it's progression;
at what cost? This is one modality about which I would want much more information before I considered treatment.
Just a personal opinion. Let us get more information.
Collagenase is still being invetigated as a viable option
for LD and PD. Read up on Osteo-radio-necrosis (ORN) if
you want some insight into Radiation treatment and side-effects.
