Question:
' What are some of the side effects of
radiation treatments for cancer?
U^xofogy
update
Answer:
Medical Director of
Radiation Oncology at
Moore Regional Hospital,
Stephen C. King, M.D.,
received his B.S. degree from
Davidson College before
earning his medical degree
from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. He
served his internship in
internal medicine at North
Carolina Memorial Hospital
in Chapel Hill and his
residency in radiation
oncology at Duke University
Medical Center in Durham.
Dr. King is board certified in
rad iation oncology.
Radiation treatments affect only the parts of the body that
are in the path of the focused radiation beam. For this reason,
the side effects of radiation treatments depend upon the part of
the body that is being treated and may be very different from
one person to the next.
For example, patients receiving radiation treatments to the
lung or chest for lung cancer often experience temporary sore
throats and may occasionally experience some shortness 6f
breath or dry cough. Ihtients receiving radiation treatment to
the breast for breast cancer often experience temporary irritation
of the skin of the breast. Fbtients receiving radiation treatments
to the pelvis for cancer of the large intestine (rectum) or female
organs often experience temporary diarrhea. Men who receive
radiation treatments for prostate cancer frequently experience
mild and temporary irritation of the bowel or bladder resulting
in discomfort with urination or bowel movements.
Radiation treatments generally do not cause pain. In certain
situations, such as treatment of the brain, temporary hair loss
can occur. Nausea can occur when treatments include the
stomach area. Most patients also feel tired during their course of
radiation treatments.
In general, the side effects of radiation treatments are mild to
moderate and temporary. These side effects usually clear up
within a few weeks after the treatments are completed.

Pinehurst call (910) 215-1478.
