Special Issue on Radiation and Disease

Numerous epidemiological studies have proven that radiation exposure can increase the risk of cancer. Typical contributors to such risk include natural background radiation, occupational exposures, nuclear accidents and many others. Although radiation is viewed as a serious threat to our health, medical use of radiation which is an important part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells can’t be ignored at the same time. Considering the potential threat to human health and the important application in medical treatment, appropriate management and operation of radiation seems necessary and significant.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring radiation and disease. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Types and sources of radiation
• Ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation
• Radiation-induced cancer
• Radiation dose
• Pathophysiology
• Epidemiology of cancer
• Radiation therapy and second cancer
• Protect from radiation
• Treatments of cancer
  
  

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Radiation and Disease” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
