Modulation of Radiation Injury
Science, 2004Scientists are just beginning to understand the complicated response to radiation exposure that organisms exhibit. In their Perspective, [ Coleman et al .][1] report on a recent meeting that reviewed the model systems available to study these issues and recent progress in their application to radiation injury.

Radiation injury of the rectum
Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2001Any clinician involved in the treatment of pelvic malignancies with radiation is aware of the potential for rectal injury. Although severe effects have been well described for many years, it is only more recently that lesser degrees of rectal injury have been considered important.

Anticoagulation for radiation injury [PDF]
To the Editor: Glantz et al recently published an important article [1] on the effect of heparin and warfarin on radiationinduced nervous system injury in 11 patients, one of whom had myelopathy. We have encountered two cases of delayed radiation myelopathy, one of which has been treated with oral anticoagulants.

Pathology of Radiation Injury [PDF]
Irradiation is widely used in the treatment of some malignant tumours. It has become the therapy of choice in certain circumstances where surgery and/or chemotherapy have failed to produce good results. With increasing use, we have become more aware of the complications and potential hazards of radiotherapy.

Radiation-Induced Intestinal Injury
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1993Radiation therapy is administered to approximately one third of patients with cancer as part of their treatment plan. Radiation-induced bowel injury is a major cause of morbidity in these patients. The pathophysiology of this condition as well as recommendations for the management of acute and chronic radiation enteritis are discussed.

Cranial irradiation has an important role in the treatment of brain tumors either with curative intent or for palliation. Cranial irradiation has a unique application in prevention of distant metastasis to brain parenchyma, and prophylactic cranial irradiation may be carried out in selected patients at high risk of neoplastic cranial involvement.

Clinical assessment of patients with radiation damage to the intestinal or genitourinary tract can be difficult. The symptoms may be similar to those of recurrent tumour. Radiology can be useful to document the presence and extent of any abnormality and to attempt to distinguish between radiation change and tumour.
