ABSTRACT
Radiotherapy is one of the important cancer therapy methods that can lead to tissue damage including radiation lung injury,radiation esophageal injury,radiation skin damage and abnormal changes in hemopoietic system and immune system.Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant catechin in green tea.It has been demonstrated that EGCG has biological effects of antiinflammatory,antioxidant,anti-apoptosis and regulating immunity.Recently some studies of cell and animal models suggest that EGCG has radioprotective effect,but few clinical research was reported.In this review,the studies about EGCG in preventing and treating radiation injury were summarized from antiradiation mechanism in order to enhance the understanding of the potential clinical application of EGCG.
