## Resource

"Skin reactions, such as redness, dryness, and just irritation of the skin, can occur. Since we're irradiating the lung, we can also cause a cough, and that's due to the inflammation from the radiation. Patients can also get esophagitis if the tumor that we're treating is close to the midline of the chest near the esophagus. And probably the most common side effect that we see is fatigue," ONS member Amy MacRostie, RN, OCN ® , radiation oncology nurse at St. Charles Cancer Center in Bend, OR, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS ® , manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation side effects in lung cancer.
