ABSTRACT

Radiation side effects, such as radiation pneumonia, bone marrow suppression, radiation skin injury, radiation esophagitis, etc., have a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life, radiation therapy effectiveness, and prognosis. Radiation therapy plays a significant role in the treatment of lung cancer. The majority of modern medical care is symptomatic, susceptible to infection and immunosuppression, etc. Chinese medicine offers several distinctive benefits. In order to offer treatment suggestions for clinical treatment and lessen the side effects of radiation therapy, this paper primarily covers the treatment of radiation therapy side effects for lung cancer from Chinese medicine and summarizes the clinical experience of various schools.
