Abstract:

Introduction: Retinoblastoma (RB) is a malignant retinal tumor, which affects infants and children. This cancer happens through a mutation in the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor genes (RB1). Inactivation of RB1 has been observed in more than 97% of all retinoblastoma patients with mutations. In recent years, RB treatment has developed significantly. RBchr('39')s treatment methods can be one or a combination of the following treatments, including chemotherapy, non-ionizing, or ionizing radiation. This article aimed to review each treatment methodchr('39')s role and its effectiveness in the treatment of RB. Several articles from 2004 to 2020 were reviewed in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus, based on the RB treatments, of which 73 were selected for this study. Conclusion: It can be concluded that ionizing and non-ionizing radiation play an important role in treating retinoblastoma. It was also shown that a combination of radiation treatments is more effective than traditional therapeutic methods. Ionized and non-Ionized radiations can be used as an effective treatment to cure retinoblastoma.

International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection

Use of non-ionizing radiation (NIR) for diagnostic purposes allows non-invasive assessment of the structure and function of the human body and is widely employed in medical care. ICNIRP has published previous statements about the protection of patients during medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but diagnostic methods using other forms of NIR have not been considered. This statement review...

International commission on non-ionizing radiation protection.

The rapid development of technologies using static magnetic fields particularly in medicine has resulted in an increase in human exposure to very high static magnetic fields. ICNIRP is the internationally recognised body that sets guidelines for protection against adverse health effects of non-ionizing radiation including static magnetic fields. It has recently published guidelines on limiting ...

Action of Non-Ionizing Radiation on Tumor and Healthy DNA

Unlike now widely used traditional methods of treatment of tumors by means of ionizing radiation and the chemotherapy, the method of the use of low intensity electromagnetic fields (EMF) is non-ionizing and non-invasive and hence is completely deprived of any harmful side effects. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether millimeter range EMFs can suppress tumor cells growth in vi...

Ionizing Radiation Effects on Food Vitamins – A Review

Ionizing radiation has been widely used in industrial processes, especially in the sterilization of medicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products, and in food processing. Similar to other techniques of food processing, irradiation can induce certain alterations that can modify both the chemical composition and the nutritional value of foods. These changes depend on the food composition, the irra...
