These techniques limit dose to surrounding normal tissue in an effort to reduce toxicity; however, despite such improvements, potentially serious side effects related to treatment may occur, requiring urgent management. Objective Radiation-related brain or lung injury in previously irradiated patients may...
The effects of pentoxifylline at a dose of 400 mg, taken orally three times a day for eight weeks, have proven to improve clinical signs, symptoms, and a reduction in lung fibrosis [77]. It significantly reduces the presence of fibrosis with alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) for six months [...
There are two kinds of radiation side effects: early and late. Early side effects, such asnauseaandfatigue, usually don’t last long. They may start during or right after treatment and last for several weeks after it ends, but then they get better. Late side effects, such as lung orhear...
The lung is one of the most sensitive tissues to ionizing radiation, thus, radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) stays a key dose-limiting factor of thoracic radiotherapy. However, there is still little progress in the effective treatment of RILI. Ras-rel

Led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the study covered almost 1,500 patients from Penn Medicine. It was the first large review of data across several cancer types including lung, brain, head and neck...

Because the antibodies do not attack healthy cells, the possibility of radiation damage outside the tumor drops.What it's used forRadiation therapy is used to treat many types of cancer, including cancer of the lung, breast, prostate, testicles, and brain....
