A radiation or nuclear incident would likely result in vast numbers of patients, many of whom would require novel therapy. Although the number of radiation victims in the United States (USA) has been limited, we base our doctrine for treating radiation injuries on i) historical data, ii) animal research, and iii) human results derived from present medical treatment such as the care provided to cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The medical management of radiation injury is complex. Radiation injury may in-clude the acute radiation syndrome (ARS), external and internal contamination, and cutaneous injury. Human and animal data have shown that optimal medical care can raise the nominal lethal dose of radiation by 50...
