Delayed effects of radiation therapy can include radiation necrosis of the brain, which generally occurs in the area of the brain where the tumor was radiated. Radiation-induced brain tissue necrosis can occur anywhere from 6 months to several years after the radiation treatment, but it usually occurs within the first 1 to 2 years. This activity reviews the pathophysiology of radiation-induced brain necrosis, reviews available therapy, and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of affected patients.
