Cell Proliferation Kinetics and Radiation Therapy

  • Chapter
Radiotherapy, Surgery, and Immunotherapy

Part of the book series: Cancer ((C,volume 6))

Abstract

Radiation can perturb the cell proliferation kinetics of a population, and the cell kinetics can itself influence the response of the cell population to any further dose of radiation. These mutual interactions are of importance in the response of tumors and normal tissues to fractionated irradiation.
