Can radiation pneumonia be cured? What about radiation pneumonia?
Radiotherapy is one of the commonly used treatment methods for patients with lung malignant tumor, but patients who receive radiotherapy will have some side effects more or less, which is inevitable in the treatment process. But patients need not be nervous. Radiation pneumonia can be recovered after some measures.

Radiation pneumonia is not only common after radiotherapy for lung cancer, such as lymphoma.

They may all have lung injury, which should be the most common complication during radiotherapy for chest tumors. When this complication comes out, one is active symptomatic treatment, the other is good prevention of infection, and other complications should also be prevented. But there are still not many good ways to eradicate radiation pneumonia. In recent years, for example, radiotherapy can be done more accurately, but it cannot be said that radiation pneumonia caused by radiotherapy 100% can be eliminated or avoided. The main method of radiation pneumonia is prevention. Radiation pneumonia has an acute phase. After a few months, with the metabolism, many patients recovered to a considerable extent, but some patients with radiation pneumonia failed to reach the treatment level for a long time.

With the improvement of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy technology, this complication is becoming less and less, especially in large tumor hospitals. Once it appears, don't be nervous. You can take some measures to deal with it.
