Abstract:

Compounds which prevent lung toxicity without affecting the radiosensitivity of the tumor can contribute to improvement of cure rates. Basic research on radiotherapy-induced lung reactions significantly improved our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying acute radiation pneumonitis and the tissue remodelling leading to lung fibrosis.
