Sourcing and structure

I went through and trimmed primary sources and unreliable sources. Needs more work on sourcing. I also restructured this per MEDMOS.

Needs further tightening, clearer sourcing, and plain English writing... Jytdog (talk) 21:18, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jytdog Thank you for all your primping work. I had modeled this after another medical topic (Piriformis syndrome) that must have been out-of-date. RE the "Plain English" writing, okay. ... guess I was just trying to sound doctor-ish. --TomStonehunter (talk) 00:25, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

name and scope

I am thinking this should be broader, something like

Most broadly, Radiation therapy-induced neuropathy -- 45 pubmed reviews (some of those will not be relevant)
A bit more narrowly, Radiation therapy-induced myelopathy -- 31 pubmed reviews (some of those will not be relevant)

This is terribly narrow... Jytdog (talk) 21:18, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:TomStonehunter what do you think of the above? Jytdog (talk) 23:35, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Wikipedia for just a bit of foundation...

there are 9 current articles that start with "Radiation Induced..."
zero start with "Radiation therapy-induced..."

RE your title suggestions, there's several presentations of this neuropathy problem based upon on area of the body being irradiated. The medical community (i.e., from viewing their ICD-10 diagnoses list) hasn't yet localized their numbers to any of the individual areas. Their code is G62.8- Other specified polyneuropathies; Radiation-induced polyneuropathy being mentioned as an example. Maybe they never will number-ize specific areas. So, back to your broad consolidating title idea, YEP!, you might be in-line with ICD's layout. Just make allowance for subsections specific to individual nerve regions, i.e., brachial, lumbar, etc. Some have a following of members, a shared problem, shared circumstances, a badge of courage. Don't take that away from them.

Breast (brachial). Sometimes referred as RIBP, has the volume of literature discussion.
The lower spinal cord/claudia equina has the oldest history (1948). Referred as PLMNS, Postradiation Lower Motor Neuron Syndrome.
My Lumbar-sacral plexus, RILP, appeared later.
Myelopathy is another subset, that of the spinal cord.
Oh yeah, Late Effects of [Radiation Therapy, Radiotherapy, Cancer Treatment] are other article subject headings.

I like it. It's a big change from whence we started. Maybe Radiation-induced polyneuropathy for a title, to copy from ICD-10 ? --TomStonehunter (talk) 00:25, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jytdog note some discussion updates --TomStonehunter (talk) 00:35, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

. . .

Okay :User:Jytdog All {mcn's} are resolved. The //Outcomes// section needs populated. Then your scope change suggestion will need attention.

... trying to visualize how to integrate the individualities (history, symptoms) of each presenting condition into a single document. i.e., Head drop is associated with cranial procedures, forearm problems with breast/brachial plexus, bladder and rectal control issues, etc. Breast even has a unique history where hypo-fractionated doses were used, showed excessive side effects, then were abandoned after years of clinical use. ...
the Style Manual says to put all these items into a Classification section.
???
any guidance?

All {mcn's} and content comments for article "Radiation-Induced Lumbar (Lumbosacral) Plexopathy" are resolved. --TomStonehunter (talk) 22:29, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AFC Comment: clearly a notable topic. All other issues including the correct title are best resolved via normal mainspace editong. Legacypac (talk) 16:14, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
