Histopathological 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 کاملPredictive 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 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 کاملMigratory organizing pneumonitis "primed" by radiation therapy.
We report on two women presenting with cough and fever, 4 and 7 months, respectively, after starting breast radiation therapy following surgery for breast carcinoma. Chest roentgenogram and computed tomographic (CT) scan demonstrated alveolar opacities, initially limited to the pulmonary area next to the irradiated breast, but later migrating within both lungs. Intra-alveolar granulation tissue...
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...
