Ionizing radiation interacts with the immune system in many ways with a multiplicity that
mirrors the complexity of the immune system itself: namely the need to maintain a delicate …

Simple Summary Radon represents the main risk factor of lung cancer in non-smokers and
the second one in smoking patients. In Europe, there are several radon-prone areas, but …

Radiotherapy (RT) is currently used in more than 50% of cancer patients during the course
of their disease in the curative, adjuvant or palliative setting. RT achieves good local control …

In cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy, the beneficial effects of radiation can
extend beyond direct cytotoxicity to tumor cells. Delivery of localized radiation to tumors …

The interrelationship between ionizing radiation and the immune system is complex,
multifactorial, and dependent on radiation dose/quality and immune cell type. High-dose …

Recent evidence indicates that limited availability and cytotoxicity have restricted the
development of natural killer (NK) cells in adoptive cellular immunotherapy (ACI). While it …

Ionizing irradiation has been extensively employed for the clinical management of solid
tumors, with therapeutic or palliative intents, for decades. Until recently, radiation therapy …

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune lymphocytes that recognize and kill cancer and
infected cells, which makes them unique 'off-the-shelf'candidates for a new generation of …

Immune cells are believed to participate in initiating anti-tumor effects during regular tumor
therapy such as chemotherapy, radiation, hyperthermia, and cytokine injection. One of the …

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model is currently used to estimate low dose radiation (LDR)
induced health risks. This model lacks safety thresholds and postulates that health risks …
