Other possible side effects of external beam radiation therapy are: Tiredness. Your fatigue might not lift until a few weeks or months after you finish getting radiation therapy. Lymphedema. If radiation therapy damages the lymph nodes around your prostate gland, the fluid can build up in your ...

the cancer is very treatable when it is caught early, and we have every hope that my husband will be fine. However, he will need radiotherapy. And I am sure it is not as easy as the doctors make it out to be. I really wonder what the side effects of the radiotherapy will be. Can...

Progress in molecular radiobiology has improved the understanding of the pathogenesis of side effects that develop months or years after radiotherapy has been completed. This knowledge will help to improve the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy and the
Additionally, current and former smokers had an increased risk of experiencing side effects related to radiotherapy, including urinary toxicity, which can lead to urinary retention, urinary incontinence, and bladder hemorrhage. "Less optimal tumor control outcomes among smokers could possibly be explained...
