Radiation-induced lung injury: from mechanism to prognosis and drug therapy
Abstract Radiation induced lung injury, known as the main complication of thoracic radiation, remains to be a major resistance to tumor treatment. Based on the recent studies on radiation-induced lung injury, this review collated the possible mechanisms at the level of target cells and key pathways,...

| Summary: | Abstract Radiation induced lung injury, known as the main complication of thoracic radiation, remains to be a major resistance to tumor treatment. Based on the recent studies on radiation-induced lung injury, this review collated the possible mechanisms at the level of target cells and key pathways, corresponding prognostic models including predictors, patient size, number of centers, radiotherapy technology, construction methods and accuracy, and pharmacotherapy including drugs, targets, therapeutic effects, impact on anti-tumor treatment and research types. The research priorities and limitations are summarized to provide a reference for the research and management of radiation-induced lung injury. |
