Radiation induced lung injury: prediction, assessment and management.
Radiation induced lung injury has long been considered a treatment limiting factor for patients requiring thoracic radiation. This radiation induced lung injury happens early as well as late. Radiation induced lung injury can occur in two phases viz. early (<6 months) when it is called radiation pneumonitis and late (>6 months) when it is called radiation induced lung fibrosis. There are multip...
متن کاملEstablishment of a rat model of radiation-induced lung injury
Background: Radiation-induced lung injury is a refractory side effect in lung cancer radiotherapy, the mechanism still remains unclear, hence an appropriate animal mode may become useful to investigate it. Materials and Methods: 50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, average 10 rats/cage: A. control group B. 3Gy×10f C. 6Gy×5f D. 12.5Gy×1f E.15.3Gy×1f....

membrane, and are just wide enough to allow the passage of red blood cells, one cell at a time. The alveoli are lined with specialized epithelial cells termed Type I pneumocytes. Interspersed among these cells are surfactant-producing Type II pneumocytes. Within the alveolar wall, pneumocytes are separated from endothelial cells by their associated basement membranes and a potential stromal spa...
متن کاملRadiation Induced Cystitis and Proctitis - Prediction, Assessment and Management.
Cystitis and proctitis are defined as inflammation of bladder and rectum respectively. Haemorrhagic cystitis is the most severe clinical manifestation of radiation and chemical cystitis. Radiation proctitis and cystitis are major complications following radiotherapy. Prevention of radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis has been investigated using various oral agents with minimal benefit. Bladd...
متن کاملCytokine profiling for prediction of symptomatic radiation-induced lung injury.
PURPOSE To analyze plasma cytokine profiles before the initiation of radiation therapy to define a cytokine phenotype that correlates with risk of developing symptomatic radiation-induced lung injury (SRILI). METHODS AND MATERIALS Symptomatic radiation-induced lung injury was evaluated in 55 patients (22 with SRILI and 33 without SRILI), according to modified National Cancer Institute common ...
