Effect of intensity-modulated radiation therapy on sciatic nerve injury caused by echinococcosis

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021
Conventional radiotherapy has a good killing effect on femoral echinococcosis. However, the sciatic nerve around the lesion is irreversibly damaged owing to bystander effects.
