520 3 _aThis book discusses the potential of radiation countermeasure agents and radiosensitizers of herbal origin, and their multifaceted mode of action, particularly in nuclear operations, rescue operations, deep space missions, and application during radiotherapy. The book has 22 chapters divided into 6 sections covering: herbals for radiomodulation; phytomedicine for radioprotection and management of radiation injuries; biological and behavioural radioprotection by ingredients/nutraceuticals; mechanism of action of herbal radioprotectors; cancer therapy; and antioxidants and radiotherapy. It will appeal to readers in radiation biology, radiation oncology, military medicine, homeland defense, traditional, holistic and modern medicine, space biology, pharmacology and toxicology.
