To review current applications of radiation therapy in the treatment of persons with lung cancer, providing the scientific basis for nursing management of disease and treatment effects.
Published articles, book chapters, clinical trial data, and professional practice experience from the radiation oncology, radiobiology, and nursing literature.
Radiation therapy has an important role in lung cancer treatment, regardless of histopathologic type. Intent of radiation treatment may be to cure, control, or palliate the disease and its symptoms. Combined therapy (especially chemotherapy and radiation therapy) produces enhanced side effects as well as enhanced tumoricidal effect.
Disease and treatment effects in the patient with lung cancer are particularly challenging to patients, family members, and care providers. Nurses have a major responsibility in patient/ family education and in providing the supportive care and self-help techniques needed for patients treated with radiation therapy.
回顾放射治疗在肺癌患者治疗中的当前应用，为疾病护理管理和治疗效果提供科学依据。
已发表的文章、书籍章节、临床试验数据以及放射肿瘤学、放射生物学和护理文献中的专业实践经验。
无论组织病理学类型如何，放射治疗在肺癌治疗中都具有重要作用。放射治疗的目的可能是治愈、控制或缓解疾病及其症状。联合治疗（尤其是化疗和放射治疗）会产生增强的副作用以及增强的杀瘤效果。
肺癌患者的疾病和治疗效果对患者、家庭成员和护理人员来说尤其具有挑战性。护士在患者/家属教育以及为接受放射治疗的患者提供所需的支持性护理和自助技巧方面负有主要责任。
