    Author: Sakata K, Aoki Y, Kumakura Y, Karasawa K, Nakagawa K, Muta N, Terahara A, Onogi Y, Sasaki Y.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 1996; 14(2):87-90. PubMed ID: 8776771.
    Abstract:
    Our experience reported here, as well as a review of the literature, suggests that radiation therapy can be used in the palliative treatment of XP-related malignancy. However, radiation therapy should be used with caution in XP patients with an anticipated prolonged life expectancy, because the late side effects of ionizing radiation in XP are not well known.
