Description
Many years of research into the elimination of radiation resistant tumour cells have reached the stage when practical benefits in radiotherapy are anticipated. Chemical sensitisers that mimic oxygen so as to increase radiation sensitivity in hypoxic cells have been developed. Radiobiology can contribute to research on the timing of fractionated radiotherapy, and to research on chemotherapy, hyperthermia and combined treatments
