Abstract

Radiation therapy (RT) is used widely for the treatment of several tumors. The protection of organs at risks (OAR) is crucial, especially to preserve functions and quality of life in cancer survivors. This chapter will outline the pathophysiology of radiation-induced toxicity in breast, bone, skin, testes, ovaries, and extremities; biologic and clinical principles of tolerance of those structures to radiation, and the treatment strategies of both acute and chronic radiation-induced toxicities.
