Difference between Oxidative stress and Radiation therapy

Oxidative stress vs. Radiation therapy

Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage. Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator.

Similarities between Oxidative stress and Radiation therapy

Oxidative stress and Radiation therapy have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apoptosis, Cancer, Cardiovascular disease, DNA, Hydroxy group, Hypoxia (medical), Ionizing radiation, Metastasis, Oxygen, Radical (chemistry).

Apoptosis

Apoptosis (from Ancient Greek ἀπόπτωσις "falling off") is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Hypoxia (medical)

Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level.

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation (ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them.

Metastasis

Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body; it is typically spoken of as such spread by a cancerous tumor.

Oxygen

Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8.

Radical (chemistry)

In chemistry, a radical (more precisely, a free radical) is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron.

Oxidative stress and Radiation therapy Comparison

Oxidative stress has 157 relations, while Radiation therapy has 235. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 2.55% = 10 / (157 + 235).
