Harmful Effects of a Radiation Error

The effects of a radiation error can be absolutely devastating. Recent stories of patients who have been seriously harmed by a radiation overdose have raised the level of concern for this type of treatment. While radiation can be helpful for patients with malignant tumors, a radiation mistake can be extremely harmful.

A radiation error can lead to harmful effects such as: 

• organ failure;
• tissue damage;
• reduced cell reproduction;
• damaged DNA;
• burns;
• cell damage;
• bone marrow destruction;
• infection;
• hemorrhaging;
• blood vessel damage;
• brain swelling;
• shock;
• neurological disturbances; and
• death.  

No patient should have to suffer further injuries because of a radiation error. The reality is that many of these types of medication errors are completely preventable.
