Predictive markers of radiation pneumonitis.
Radiation pneumonitis is an acute-phase response to radiation therapy and a common complication that affects a patient's quality of life. Under the need to reduce the incidence and severity of radiation-induced pulmonary complications as well as to identify patients at risk, several investigations on potential predictive markers of radiation pneumonitis have been conducted. The present study re...
متن کاملHistopathological Studies on Radiation Pneumonitis.
Studies on radiation pneumonitis have been made from the beginning of the 20th century in Europe and America. Prior to the Second World War, many articles have appeared including the works of Engelstad5> and Warren et al.25) who described the general aspects of this problem. In Japan, the incidence of this disease has been rare. A case report by Hamaguchi and Akazaki9) was only available before...
متن کاملCurcumin Mitigates Radiation-induced Lung Pneumonitis and Fibrosis in Rats
Radiation-induced lung injury is one of the most prominent factors that interfere with chest cancer radiotherapy, and poses a great threat to patients exposed to total body irradiation. Upregulation of pro-oxidant enzymes is one of the main mechanisms through which the late effects of ionizing radiation on lung injury can be exerted. Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are two important cytokines that...
متن کاملTeaching Case of the Month Radiation Pneumonitis
Radiation-induced lung injury is a serious complication following thoracic irradiation for the treatment of lung, breast, or hematologic malignancies. Two distinct lung injury patterns have been described: early radiation pneumonitis and late radiation fibrosis. Both syndromes commonly include dyspnea and cough. The chest radiograph invariably shows pulmonary infiltrates. The following case des...
متن کاملRadiation Pneumonitis after Radiotherapy of Neck Lymphoma
Radiotherapy is still one of the effective means for treatment of malignant tumors up to now. Particularly, it is an indispensable effective measure for treatment of some lymphoma patients. In routine work, radiation pneumonitis (RP) is the most significant complication of acute treatment-related toxicities in lung cancer; however, serious radioactive pneumonia is rare for the radiotherapy of n...
