Radiotherapy (RT) is currently one of the leading treatments for various cancers; however, it
may cause damage to healthy tissue, with both short‐term and long‐term side effects …

Every year, millions of cancer patients undergo radiation therapy for treating and destroying
abnormal cell growths within normal cell environmental conditions. Thus, ionizing radiation …

Accidental exposure to ionizing radiation is a serious concern to human life. Studies on the
mitigation of side effects following exposure to accidental radiation events are ongoing …

Given the increasing population of long-term cancer survivors, the need to mitigate or treat
late effects has emerged as a primary area of radiation biology research. Once thought to be …

Radiotherapy is an essential and effective treatment modality for cancer. Excessive levels of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by ionizing radiation disrupt the redox homeostasis …

The threat of radiation-induced late normal tissue injury limits the dose of radiation that can
be delivered safely to cancer patients presenting with solid tumors. Tissue dysfunction and …

Ionizing radiation exposure from medical diagnostic imaging has greatly increased over the
last few decades. Approximately 80% of patients who undergo medical imaging are …

Protection of normal tissues against toxic effects of ionizing radiation is a critical issue in
clinical and environmental radiobiology. Investigations in recent decades have suggested …

Significance: Ionizing radiation is a vital component in the oncologist's arsenal for the
treatment of cancer. Approximately 50% of all cancer patients will receive some form of …

Exposure of eukaryotic cells to ionizing radiation (IR) results in the immediate formation of
free radicals that last a matter of milliseconds. It has been assumed that the subsequent …
