Application of Radioprotectors in Radiation Protection
Possibility of protection from ionizing radiation when an organism, as a unit, absorbs radiated energy practically does not exist. In the previous investigations no medicine has been invented that could successfully be applied in therapy of radiation diseases. Today, in the cases of accidental irradiation with high doses of ion radiation and developing of radiation syndrome, today it is possibl...
متن کاملBiological Complexities in Radiation Carcinogenesis and Cancer Radiotherapy: Impact of New Biological Paradigms
Although radiation carcinogenesis has been shown both experimentally and epidemiologically, the use of ionizing radiation is also one of the major modalities in cancer treatment. Various known cellular and molecular events are involved in carcinogenesis. Apart from the known phenomena, there could be implications for carcinogenesis and cancer prevention due to other biological processes such as...
متن کاملEstimation of the thyroid secondary cancer risk on the patient of standard breast external beam radiotherapy
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to estimate the secondary cancer risk of thyroid for standard radiotherapy methods which are commonly used for breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four breast cancer patients (their age range was around 50 years old) who referred to Seyed- Al- Shohada hospital (Isfahan, Iran) were included in this ...
متن کاملApplication of Hydrogen Producing Microorganisms in Radiotherapy: An Idea
Radiotherapy (RT) is the most widely used cancer treatment modality that plays a pivotal role in the management of wide variety of cancers and malignancies. About 50% of all cancer patients receive radiation treatment during the course of their disease (1). Although by advances in medical technologies the final goal of RT, deliver the highest radiation dose to the tumor volume and sparing surro...
متن کاملRadioprotectors and Mitigators of Radiation-Induced Normal Tissue Injury
Radiation is used in the treatment of a broad range of malignancies. Exposure of normal tissue to radiation may result in both acute and chronic toxicities that can result in an inability to deliver the intended therapy, a range of symptoms, and a decrease in quality of life. Radioprotectors are compounds that are designed to reduce the damage in normal tissues caused by radiation. These compou...
