Abstract
Radiation-induced lung injury encompasses radiation-induced pneumonitis, inflammation of the lung which may manifest as a dose-limiting acute or subacute toxicity, and radiation-induced lung fibrosis, a late effect of lung exposure to radiation. This review aims to highlight developments in molecular radiation biology of radiation-induced lung injury and their implications in clinical practice.
