[Radiation induced side effects].
More than half of all people with cancer are treated with radiation therapy. Over the last decade the technical advances, both in therapy beam precision and imaging, have greatly improved the therapeutic ratio and accuracy of modern radiotherapy. However, damaging healthy tissues near the tumor leads to radiation induced injury that develops immediately and continue to progress long after exposure to radiation. Recently dramatic advances have been made in understanding the determinant of tissue response to radiation exposure.
