Abstract
Although radiation therapy plays a central role in the treatment of many pediatric malignancies, serious consequences may result from its use. Among these is the growth arrest that may result either directly or indirectly from radiation treatments. In this article, the relationship between radiation therapy and growth in children is discussed in detail, including the pathologic and physical basis, and preventative and therapeutic measures.
