Novel concepts in radiation-induced normal tissue injury
NIH Director's Seminar Series
Radiation therapy is delivered to over one half of all cancer patients. Efforts to enhance the efficacy of radiation have centered on technologic improvements in radiation delivery and leveraging a growing understanding of tumor radiobiology. Despite numerous recent advances in radiation delivery techniques, radiation exposure of normal tissues within the treatment volume can result in chronic injury, such as fibrosis and organ dysfunction. The study of radiation injury models has provided insight into the molecular events leading to radiation injury. Chronic oxidative stress after exposu...
