I seem to remember there being an entity (can't remember the exact name)
radiation recall dermatitis--which was why they liked to give the chemo before the rads. As I recall, certain chemos (I think anthracyclines) given after radiation therapy could cause (in a percentage of patients) a nasty dermatitis where the radiation had been given. (I don't think it was vice-versa). Try putting radiation recall dermatitis into PubMed and google.

Sorry not to be too sharp this evening.
