What is the Pathophysiology Behind Radiation Recall?
The exact mechanisms underlying radiation recall are not well understood. However, it is believed that radiation recall may involve a complex interplay between damaged cells, inflammatory processes, and the immune system. Radiation can cause long-lasting changes in the irradiated tissues, making them more susceptible to inflammation when exposed to certain drugs. Additionally, chemotherapy drugs may exacerbate these changes, leading to a recall reaction.
