Fecha de publicación: | 2016 | Publicación seriada: | Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy | Resumen: | Immunomodulatory effects of low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) have been used for the treatment of several benign diseases, including arthrodegenerative and inflammatory pathologies. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease and radiotherapy (RT) is a therapeutic option for ocular complications. The dose recommended in the clinical practice is 20 Gy (2 Gy/day). We hypothesized that lower doses (<10 Gy total dose, <1 Gy/day) could results in higher efficacy if we achieved anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of LD-RT.We review current evidence on the effects of RT in the treatment of Graves' disease and the possible use of LD-RT treatment strategy. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/52564 | ISSN: | 1507-1367 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.rpor.2016.02.001 | Fuente: | Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy [ISSN 1507-1367], v. 21 (3), p. 213-218 |
