Abstract Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading rapidly throughout the world. Lung primary organ which COVID-19 virus affects and leads to pneumonia, an acute respiratory distress syndrome. infects lower system, lung’s response this infection recruiting macrophages monocytes leading inflammation, causes widespread damage airways. Aim: purpose of study review studies using low-dose radiation as a treatment for inflammation tissue pneumonia resulting from COVID-19. These were compared with risk developing lung cancer during performed dose in therapy. Materials methods: Our focused on vitro, vivo clinical reports suggested these was also evaluated. Conclusion: From articles, we have found that can lead improvement different line cells animals; addition, it has been effective treating caused by human up 80%. Since doses do not remarkably increase risk, be adjuvant patients.
