Abstract:

Radiation therapy is one of the main therapeutic means of thoracic malignant tumors.When received certain radiation,lung may cause the common complication of chest tumor radiotherapy-Radiation-induced Lung Injury(RILI),which restricts the radiation dose for the tumor region and may affect patient outcomes.RILI is closely associated with multiple cytokines,such as interleukin family,tumor necrosis factor,transforming growth factor,etc.Currently,research on RILI control Methods has also made some breakthrough,this article elaborates on this individually.

Key words: Radiation-induced lung injury, Cytokines, Cytokine inhibitors, Gene therapy, Stem cell therapy
