Radiation-dermatitis treatment when on radio therapy for cancer by topical biological balm
BIOSKINCARE is a topical cream made with a biological balm that works naturally to ease the agony associated with radiotherapy side effects.
This is done through the action of enzymes and messenger molecules in the biological ingredient. The latter recognize damaged and non functional tissues and act in concert with "digestive" enzymes to breakdown damaged cells and proteins into their amino acid components, and release them for the regeneration of healthy tissues in an orderly and orchestrated way.
Close to 250,000 women will be affected by breast cancer in the US alone in the coming calendar year. According to recent studies, almost 9 out of 10 women treated with radiation will show symptoms consistent with radiation induced dermatitis. Radiation therapy is a necessary hardship in the fight against breast cancer. Radiation does have some unfortunate side effects that can affect the skin during treatment to breasts, the head, neck, chest wall, or abdomen such as skin atrophy, erythema, dry desquamation, moist desquamation, ulceration, soreness, burning, and itching.
Dermatitis is an all enveloping term covering basic skin inflammations. Exposure to radiation during breast cancer treatments (radio therapeutic interventional procedures) can cause dryness (transepidermal water loss reaching highest values at 4 weeks after radiology -on average), pigmentation changes, and radiation injuries to the basal layer of the skin. In more serious reactions, skin can begin sloughing off due to the complete eradication of stem cells in the basal layer.
In radiotherapy of the breast following breast-conserving surgery, the adverse reaction predominantly found is confined to the skin.
Radiodermatitis (i.e., dermatitis resulting from overexposure to sources of radiant energy such as x-rays, gamma radiation or like radiation) is one of the most annoying complications in the treatment of neoplastic diseases and can lead to the suspension of treatment. It is also the feared occupational disease of medical practitioners who carry out the radiation treatments and of people working in nuclear plants. One of the most serious threats is the possible development of cancer from such exposure. Burns of all types are also one of the most difficult conditions to treat.
New product for topical application relieves side effects of cancer radio therapy.
There is a new breakthrough in natural skin care that can help women affected by these painful side effects on delicate skin through application of Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates. The ingredient rebuilds the skin’s natural moisture holding ability in the basal layer while at the same time promoting the production of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are cells that give rise to the connective tissues found in the body called collagen and elastin.
Collagen and elastin growth gives skin its durability. Regulating the basal layer and its function can help with unwanted pigmentation changes and other inopportune skin reactions to radiation treatments.
The chances of developing serious skin injuries, including moist desquamation and tissue necrosis, or skin related problem during or after radiation (interventional radiology) depends on various factors like dose size, type of radiation, and breast size. Foreign factors like cigarettes have been linked as well to radiodermatitis. While the apparent goal of radiation is to shrink or eliminate the cancerous cells within the tumor, healthy cells are going to feel the effects of the treatment since it is impossible to just focus on the tumor and not the surrounding tissues.
DNA damage can be powerful enough in certain cases to disrupt cellular replication which will end up killing necessary healthy cells. It is along this process that free radicals can appear.
Free radicals are atoms that possess unpaired electrons. Normally, electrons survive in a pair but free radicals go to work picking up electrons from other atoms. Once an electron is taken by a free radical, the loner atom is made into a free radical itself. That one will chase out another electron and the cycle starts. The toxicity of the radiation treatment is the reason they form. Free radical damage can often lead to the hardening of the lipid wall in cells, blocking nutrition in the cell.
Free radicals play a large role in the depletion of healthy cells. Sometimes the body produces these elements to combat bacteria but if they are not bounded, they start penetrating cells that do not need attention. These free radicals need to be controlled and cellular proliferation needs to continue for radiation treatment to work. If left alone, free radicals can damage cellular DNA. All cellular activity is disrupted or disturbed if these are left to continue their multiplication.
Dryness and pigmentation changes are the most common skin disorders women ail from during and after radiation. Dryness is a result of the obliteration of the sebaceous gland, found inside the hair follicle, in the dermal layer. Natural oils secreted by the body are completely essential for the health of your skin. When production is halted and dryness results, bacteria and other growths have a breeding ground right on the skin making it a refuge for inflammations.
Radiation, more specifically free radicals, affects cellular communication. When cellular communication is diminished, fibroblasts production can be stopped. Fibroblasts are cells that are vital for the continued health of connective tissue. Fibroblasts actually produce collagen, glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins, and elastic fibers in order to keep the physical elements of connective tissue in adequate working order. Fibroblasts secrete elements fundamental for the extracellular matrix. It is the make up of the matrix that is crucial for the robustness of the connective tissues.
Fibroblasts are crucial for restoring skin to its pre radiation glow. Radiation can tend to slow down the provision of collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins, making skin repair harder to achieve. What is needed to assist in the repair skin damage due to extreme radiation endangerement is an element that bring about the renewal of the skin naturally. Sebaceous gland function and collagen levels need to be rejuvenated for the skin to return back to its normal appearance. The skin’s natural repair mechanism needs to be restored after damage from radiation treatment.
There has been a medical breakthrough in the past few years concerning skin dryness and dermatitis from radio therapy. According to some clinical research performed in Europe, land snails possess a special serum that fundamentally helps restore the capacity of skin to repair itself. The serum has shown positive advancements in the fight against radiodermatitis. This serum regenerates fibroblasts, which elevates essential collagen and elastin levels in the skin. Antioxidants are naturally found in the serum as well to fight free radical damage and excessive healthy cell consumption.
The serum formulated inside their cells by snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller comprises glycoconjugates, a complex compound of glycomolecules, glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans, antioxidants, immune modulators, proteins, peptides, enzymes, co-enzymes, and cell communicating ingredients. All these agents enhance the protective mechanism of the skin. This natural skin care ingredient contains proteolytic enzymes and substances that play a custodial role by helping dissolve and digest denatured proteins into their amino acid components.
Degraded proteins, when not reduced or eliminated, cause the immune system to treat them as if they were foreign elements and thereby react to them with a chronic inflammation reaction which in turn causes the generation of more perilous free radicals. It is necessary to clean out these proteins in order to confirm optimum cellular communication in the body.
When the body’s natural protective mechanisms are working properly, the chances of developing chronic inflammaging and thus age related disorders and degenerative diseases are reduced. Dry skin becomes a difficulty after radiation treatments because of the wreckage of the oil producing sebaceous gland. Promoting the recovery of these glands is achieved by restoring the natural function on a cellular level.
The glycoconjugates will renew the function of your sebaceous glands after radiation by regenerating damaged cells and advancing new healthy cell growth. The glands will carry on their function once new cellular growth, inside the actual gland, takes place and restores the natural oil producing mechanism. The serum will revive damaged sustained during treatments. The Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates will help pacify dry skin by promoting the proliferation of the water holding glyco molecules within the skin and boosts the skin’s innate ability to secrete antimicrobials and antioxidants.
Women going through radiation treatment do not need an extra difficulty to face. Mental health and peace of mind is just as critical to the outcome of the treatment as the physical treatment itself. Topical application of Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates will ease distress and suffering associated with dry skin and the effects of free radicals during and after radiation.
Prophylactic (before the radiology treatment) and ongoing use of topical therapy with this natural skin care product in no way alters the effectiveness of the radiation. It alleviates the side effects by activating the natural renewal and protective mechanisms of the body. The snail serum works naturally to fight the uncomfortable side effects of this intense cancer treatment.

Early and late skin reactions to radiotherapy for breast cancer and their correlation with radiation-induced DNA damage in lymphocytes. - Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves, Granada, Spain. Breast Cancer Res. 2005; 7(5):R690-8 (ISSN: 1465-542X).
Radiotherapy outcomes might be further improved by a greater understanding of the individual variations in normal tissue reactions that determine tolerance. Most published studies on radiation toxicity have been performed retrospectively. Our prospective study was launched in 1996 to measure the in vitro radiosensitivity of peripheral blood lymphocytes before treatment with radical radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer, and to assess the early and the late radiation skin side effects in the same group of patients. We prospectively recruited consecutive breast cancer patients receiving radiation therapy after breast surgery. To evaluate whether early and late side effects of radiotherapy can be predicted by the assay, a study was conducted of the association between the results of in vitro radiosensitivity tests and acute and late adverse radiation effects.
METHODS: Intrinsic molecular radiosensitivity was measured by using an initial radiation-induced DNA damage assay on lymphocytes obtained from breast cancer patients before radiotherapy. Acute reactions were assessed in 108 of these patients on the last treatment day. Late morbidity was assessed after 7 years of follow-up in some of these patients. The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) morbidity score system was used for both assessments. RESULTS: Radiosensitivity values obtained using the in vitro test showed no relation with the acute or late adverse skin reactions observed. There was no evidence of a relation between acute and late normal tissue reactions assessed in the same patients. A positive relation was found between the treatment volume and both early and late side effects.
CONCLUSION: After radiation treatment, a number of cells containing major changes can have a long survival and disappear very slowly, becoming a chronic focus of immunological system stimulation. This stimulation can produce, in a stochastic manner, late radiation-related adverse effects of varying severity. Further research is warranted to identify the major determinants of normal tissue radiation response to make it possible to individualize treatments and improve the outcome of radiotherapy in cancer patients.
