Radiation-related treatment effects across the age spectrum: differences and similarities or what the old and young can learn from each other Krasin MJ; Constine LS; Friedman DL; Marks LBSemin Radiat Oncol 2010[Jan]; 20 (1): 21-9Radiation related effects in children and adults limit the delivery of effective radiation doses and result in long-term morbidity affecting function and quality of life. Improvements in our understanding of the etiology and biology of these effects, including the influence of clinical variables, dosimetric factors, and the underlying biological processes have made treatment safer and more efficacious. However, the approach to studying and understanding these effects differs between children and adults. Using the pulmonary and skeletal organ systems as examples, comparisons are made across the age spectrum for radiation related effects, including pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, osteonecrosis, and fracture. Methods for dosimetric analysis, incorporation of imaging and biology as well a length of follow-up are compared, contrasted, and discussed for both organ systems in children and adults. Better understanding of each age specific approach and how it differs may improve our ability to study late effects of radiation across the ages.|*Radiation Tolerance[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Age Distribution[MESH]|Aging/*radiation effects[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Dose-Response Relationship, Radiation[MESH]|Fractures, Bone/*etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung Diseases/*etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Osteonecrosis/*etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Radiation Dosage[MESH]|Radiation Injuries/etiology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Radiotherapy/*adverse effects[MESH] |
