[ Ссылка ] Doctors often say that any medicine can be a poison, it just depends on the amount. This is all too true when it comes to radiation therapy, a common and effective form of cancer treatment. While radiation treatment can help eradicate malignant tumors, an overdose of radiation can be extremely harmful—and even deadly. In fact, unsafe levels of radiation can result in tissue damage, burns, infections, blood vessel damage, hemorrhaging, organ failure, DNA and cell damage, bone marrow loss, brain swelling, shock, and death.

How do radiation overdose mistakes happen? While some mistakes occur due to human error, others are caused by defective medical devices that are meant to control appropriate dosage.

Those who are undergoing radiation are already battling against a serious and deadly illness. Suffering a radiation overdose can be absolutely devastating—both physically and emotionally.
