Abstract
The likelihood of radiation-induced injury (RII) has increased. Currently, the chemical drugs used to prevent and control radiation damage have some drawbacks, such as high toxicity, which can also have other side effects on the body. However, many traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers, single TCM, and compound TCM preparations have shown good therapeutic effects against radiation damage with increased safety and minimal adverse reactions. Therefore, new anti-RII TCMs must be explored and developed. This study reviewed the TCM preparations for the prevention and treatment of RII and their mechanisms of action to provide a better theoretical basis for research on the prevention and treatment of RII. TCM is an efficient, safe, and convenient strategy for the prevention and treatment of RII. Graphical abstract: http://links.lww.com/AHM/A127.
