What Is Radiation Fibrosis?

The disease is caused by radiation damage to chest lung tumors such as breast cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, and other malignant tumors in normal lung tissues in the radiation field, resulting in extensive pulmonary fibrosis. It is common to have irritating dry cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fever. In severe cases, dry cough persisted, shortness of breath was obvious, and increased sharply after the activity. Immune function is severely reduced, and respiratory tract infection is prone to occur, even right heart failure. There is also pneumoconiosis, which is diffuse pulmonary fibrosis caused by inhalation of inorganic dust. Mainly asbestos lung. Patients have a long history of professional exposure.
