Principles of radiotherapy and radiobiology.

OBJECTIVES: To review the current state of knowledge of radiation physics and radiobiology, combined modality treatments, the use of radiosensitizers and radioprotectors, new developments in radiation therapy, radiation safety principles, and the implications of radiation in advanced nursing practices. DATA SOURCES: Research and review articles, oncology nursing textbooks, and physics and medical oncology textbooks. CONCLUSIONS: Radiation therapy is an important entity in the treatment of cancer, used alone or in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy. Research continues to grow in the use of radiation therapy to control cancer, spare surrounding normal tissue, and reduce acute long-term toxicity. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: An understanding of radiobiology and physics will assist oncology nurses in providing proper education to the patient and managing radiation-induced side effects.

Potential long-term and late effects from radiation therapy.

This is the sixth of seven self-learning modules that will review radiation therapy. The focus of this module is potential long-term and late effects related to radiation therapy. The module will provide useful information to nurses and other health-care professionals who care for cancer patients or who wish to have a better understanding of radiation therapy. This module will focus on lymphedema, myelopathy, brachial plexopathy, osteoradionecrosis, and other site-specific effects. The potential long-term and late effects are rare, but it is important for nurses to be aware of them.
