Skutkiem działania promieniowania jonizującego na skórę jest popromienne zapalenie skóry, któ-rego przebieg może mieć różne natęże-nie.

“…Damage to normal tissue is defined as radiation-induced reaction.

As a result of the treatment with ionizing radiation of head and neck cancers, damage is done to the skin of the face, neck, and décolleté, which are areas generally conditioning the aesthetics.…”
