The literature on the effect of ionizing radiations on developing and rapidly growing tissue has been reviewed, and the effect especially on children who received radiation therapy in the Clinic for Maxillo-Facial and Plastic Surgery of the University of Dusseldorf for various tumours of the head and neck presented. Our findings indicate that we do not yet know the minimal irradiation dosage that may cause growth retardation in infants and children. It has therefore been suggested that surgery should be more frequently considered in the treatment of childhood tumours, since this caused less side effect, and reconstructive surgery is today able to do much for patients who have had parts of their jaws resected.
关于电离辐射对发育中和快速生长组织影响的文献已被综述，并特别介绍了在杜塞尔多夫大学颌面与整形外科诊所接受放射治疗的患有各种头颈肿瘤的儿童所受的影响。我们的研究结果表明，我们尚不知道可能导致婴幼儿生长发育迟缓的最小辐射剂量。因此，有人建议在儿童肿瘤治疗中应更频繁地考虑手术，因为手术造成的副作用较小，而且如今重建手术能够为那些颌骨部分被切除的患者提供很大帮助。
