Abstract:
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.
