Department of Clinical Oncology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong Radiation-recall dermatitis is a well-recognised phenomenon of an acute inflammatory toxicity that occurs in a previously quiescent radiation field with subsequent cytotoxic chemotherapy administration. It may occur from days to weeks, and sometimes years after the ...

Abstract Objective To explore the concept of radiation dermatitis wet healing through a literature review and provide references for future treatment patients with skin injury. Methods Related articles selected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, PubMed, Web Science, Medline, EBSCO were analyzed Rodger’s analysis. Results We identified application status in do...

Radiation dermatitis is a serious cutaneous injury caused by radiation therapy or upon accidental nuclear exposure. However, the pathogenic immune mechanisms underlying this injury are still poorly understood. We seek to discover how the dysregulated immune response after irradiation orchestrates skin inflammation. The skin on the left flank of C57BL/6J wild-type and C57BL/6J Tcrd-/- mice, whic...

Radiation recall dermatitis is defined as an inflammatory reaction of the skin at the site of previous irradiation. Different drugs have been associated with triggering this phenomenon, and it can also affect other areas and organs where previous radiotherapy has been administered. The time gap between the inflammatory reaction and previous radiation can range from days to several years. We rep...

Ionizing radiation is an important treatment modality for a variety of malignant conditions. However, development of radiation-induced skin changes is a significant adverse effect of radiation therapy (RT). Cutaneous repercussions of RT vary considerably in severity, course, and prognosis. When they do occur, cutaneous changes to RT are commonly graded as acute, consequential-late, or chronic. ...

conclusions the effective annual dose of interventionists who work in center 1 and 2 was 143.08 and 1226.78 msv respectively. the high radiation dose which delivers to the leg of physicians in center 2 can be an important cause of radiation dermatitis occurred on the leg of our interventionist. patient dose during most of the procedures was less than the threshold dose for occurring erythema bu...

The recrudescence and modification of radiation effects precipitated by the use of chemotherapeutic agents has been reported extensively in the literature. The recall of quiescent radiation effects such as dermatitis, enteritis, esophagitis, pneumonitis, and mucositis has been most commonly associated with dactinomycin (actinomytin D) and doxorubicin (Adriamycin, Adria Laboratories, Columbus, O...

Ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation is effectively used to treat patients with atopic dermatitis and other T cell mediated, inflammatory skin diseases. In the present study, successful phototherapy of atopic dermatitis was found to result from UVA radiation-induced apoptosis in skin-infiltrating T helper cells, leading to T cell depletion from eczematous skin. In vitro, UVA radiation-induced human ...
