Redistribution (of cells in the cell cycle) refers to one of the intended efficacies of Radiotherapy (used in the treatment of Cancer).— Radiotherapy frequently causes damage to the normal cells, which is evident in the form of adverse reactions. [...] The efficacy of the radiotherapy has been described by 4 ‘R’ s, that is, repair, redistribution, repopulation, and reoxygenation. The controlled use of radiotherapy provides different outputs on healthy and malignant tissues. [...] Rasayana-avaleha counteracts the various adverse effects of Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy, in particular as under: Tulasi, which has vishanashana-prabhava, and probably destroys the toxic substances released by cell injury when administered with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. [...] Therefore, administration of rasayana-avaleha along with chemotherapy and radiotherapy can improve the quality of life of cancer patients.
