  • Title: [Local radiation reactions and injuries in neutron and combined therapy of tumors using the U-120 cyclotron].
    Author: Musabaeva LI, Lavrenkov KA, Demochko VB, Podoplekin MV, Novikov VA.
    Journal: Med Radiol (Mosk); 1988 Oct; 33(10):30-5. PubMed ID: 3185187.
    Abstract:
    Early local radiation reactions and radiation damage during fast neutron therapy of head and neck tumors were studied. The frequency of moist epidermitis in a radical course of neutron therapy was 33%, that in combined neutron and photon irradiation was 21%. Mucosal reactions were observed in 30-35% of the patients with tumors of the oral mucosa. The most frequent radiation damage in a long-term period were fibrotic changes of the skin and subcutaneous connective tissue.
