Genetic phenotypes: Genetic variation in crucial genes in DNA replication and repair, inflammation, and oxidative stress pathways, may either ameliorate or exacerbate the effects of a given radiation dose on the lungs. The risk of RP increases as the number of unfavorable genotypes increases (see ...

Sarcoidosis.This is a disease where you grow groups of tiny inflammatory cells (granulomas)in any part of your body, but most often in your lungs or lymph nodes. Radiation treatments.Cancer treatments may raise your risk for ILD. Work environment.If you breathe in coal dust or asbestos at ...
For people with stage 1 lung cancer, a specialized type of radiation therapy known asstereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), also called a cyberknife procedure, may be an option as it can target small areas with high doses of radiation. Radiation therapy to the lungs may cause side effects suc...
This study confirms that these effects are clinically tolerable to a certain degree in the current clinical context considering the various more critical dose uncertainties due to motion and range uncertainties in proton therapy.Background Since proposed for radiation therapy, ion beams are of ...
Side effects were evaluated according to World Health Organization standards. In the present study, side effects of grade II and above (hematologic toxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, acute radiation-induced pneumonitis, and esophagitis) were defined as toxic effects. The toxic effects of the TRT grou...
Presence offoreign material.Foreign materialin the spaces in the form of vegetable matter or other food elements is indicative of aspiration. Massive aspiration events may cause DAD. Other foreign material, such as radiation impregnated beads may also be encountered. ...
Gastrointestinal microorganisms have long been valued for their high complexity and abundance. They not only regulate the state of a healthy organism but are also closely related to different kinds of diseases. Recently, researchers have made the novel discovery that the effects of the gastrointestinal...
Chronic cough.This can be common, especially if you get radiation treatment. Your doctor will first want to understand the reason for your cough. There could be many causes. For instance, a tumor may be blocking your airway. Or it might stem from a condition likeasthmaor a chest infection...
