According to American Society for Radiation Oncology 2010 report approximately 75% of oncology patients opt for radiation therapy. The primary aim of radiation therapy is to irradiate the tumor cells, however the normal cells being exposed to the radiation therapy get damaged. Normal tissue cells are capable of self-repair but the repetitive damage reduces the reparation properties of normal cells. Factors that increase the risk and severity of skin reactions include high daily cumulative radiation doses, the type of beam utilized for irradiation, large treatment field, treatment to areas with skin folds and whether the radiation was given with chemotherapy.
