Both the patients from the group of calendula as the patients from the EFA were receiving radiotherapy relationed to the chemotherapy and there was also a marked amount in the two groups from people who received treatment with Cobalt-60, an gamma radiation emitter, with high tissue permeation and half long life [16] . These combination potentialize the radiodermatitis [15] .…”
