Mantle field radiation is a form om radiation directed at the upper body, above the diaphragm. The targets include lymph nodes in the neck, the supra- and infraclavicular region as well as under the arms. In patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who received high doses of radiation (up to 40-44Gy), late long-term adverse effects include atrophy of muscular tissue in the neck, hypothyroidism, cardiorespiratory disease and the development of secondary malignancies.
