PROTECTION OF CERTAIN STRUCTURES FROM HIGH DOSES OF IRRADIATION

GIULIO J. D’ANGIO M.D., PHILIP R. EXELBY M.D., FERESHTEH GHAVIMI M.D., WILLIAM CHUA CHAM M.D., and MELVIN TEFFT M.D.

The radiation therapist is often confronted with a therapeutic dilemma. He must decide whether to compromise with curative doses of radiation therapy, or run the alternate risk of producing severely incapacitating, if not lethal, damage to normal tissues necessarily included in the beam.

Many methods are used by radiation therapists to minimize normal tissue damage.

Relatively simple surgical techniques described in this paper were used to protect the lung, the testicle, and the rectum.
