Post- radiation dermatitis is an adverse effect of radiotherapy in cancer treatment.The other possible effect is fibrosis of the adjacent tissue of the cancer itself.Mouth dryness h is due to the effect of the radiation to the salivary glands.This will make problems in swallowing in these cases of radiotherapy in head and neck cancer.
However,low power laser will be umbrella to these problems.Look at these pictures of skin lesions due to adverse effects of radiotherapy (ionizing radiation).
Scanner technology of laser therapy is the answer for the problems.
One of the advances in radiotherapy is local therapy (brachytherapy).Use of the radiosensitizing agent will increase the outcome of ionizing radiation.
The non- ionizing radiation in photodynamic therapy(PDT) using a photosensitizer will selectively look for the cancer cells while normal one will remain intact.In the near future PDT will be featuring on the stage of sequential therapy hand in a hand together with other modalities in cancer management.
