放射治疗引起动脉狭窄的研究进展

Advances in research on artery stenosis induced by radiation therapy

作为当下癌症治疗的一个重要组成部分,放射治疗带来治疗效果的同时,也伴随着慢性并发症的风险,这引起了人们的高度关注。患者接受放疗后,随着年限的增加,颈部和心脏周边血管疾病的发病率增高,其中一项主要原因就是放射线导致血管损伤引起的动脉狭窄病变。为了更深入地了解动脉狭窄,对其危险因素、临床表现、发病机制、预防建议及治疗方法作一综述。

Radiation therapy(RT),as a crucial part of current cancer treatment,has caused great concern since it brings therapeutic efficacy along with the risk of chronic complications.With an increase in age,patients treated with RT are subjected to a high incidence of vascular diseases in the neck and peripheral heart primarily due to the artery stenosis induced by radiation-caused vascular injury.To gain a deeper understanding of artery stenosis,its hazards,clinical presentation,pathogenesis,preventive recommendations,and treatment method was reviewed.
