Unconventional, more aggressive irradiation protocols are usually associated with aggravation
of acute reactions. In recent clinical studies, this has resulted in modulation of late effects …

PURPOSE: There are reports of a high sensitivity of prostate cancer to radiotherapy dose
fractionation, and this has prompted several trials of hypofractionation schedules. It remains …

Femoral bone marrow was divided longitudinally into two groups of cells of varying size. By
assaying CFU s and CFU c in the two zones of the marrow, their distributions across the …

FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) is a technology that could modify the way radiotherapy is
delivered in the future. This technique involves the ultra-fast delivery of radiotherapy at dose …

Natural radiation is the major source of human exposure to ionising radiation, and its largest
contributing component to effective dose arises from inhalation of 222 Rn and its radioactive …

Background: The large patient-to-patient variability in the grade of normal tissue injury after a
standard course of radiotherapy is well established clinically. A better understanding of this …

When doses of pulsed electrons are delivered in less than 4.5 sec to the tail of the
unanesthetized mouse in air at 19-23C, there is induced resistance to epithelial necrosis which is …

Long-term bone marrow damage, characterised by stem, progenitor and stromal cell
abnormalities is a frequent occurrence after cytotoxic treatments. The relative contributions of each …
