A Systematic Review of Radiology and Radio Oncology Evaluations in Patients with Thoracic and Pelvic Cancers based on Radiological Images

Introduction: Early detection of cancer can significantly increase the likelihood of successful treatment, and imaging tests can have a significant impact on cancer diagnosis. Early cancer treatments are simpler and cheaper than advanced treatments.Material and method: In the current study, the issue investigated by reviewing ۴۳ articles and considering key words such as "Radiology", "Radio Oncology", "Thoracic", "Pelvic Cancers", and “Systematic Review” in Scopus, Google scholar and PubMed databases.Results: It should be noted that X-rays can cause changes in DNA, which can lead to cancer in the decades or years to come, but this risk is very small. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified X-rays as a probable carcinogen, although the benefits of X-rays outweigh their negative consequences. According to estimates, ۰.۴% of cancers in the United States are caused by CT scans could increase with the increase in the use of CT scans. On average, at least ۶۲ million CT scans were performed in the United States in ۲۰۰۷.Conclusion: Early detection helps doctors detect abnormalities in cancer-prone tissues that may develop into malignant cancers and prevent their spread by using cancer treatments.
