Description

Individually different radiation tolerance with relative dose dependence of the radioreaction could be revealed.

An enhanced toxic effect of combined cytostatic and radiotherapy could be demonstrated once more. Obviously irradiation causes lasting damage of the pulmonary tissue, being a changed but stereotype reaction to different irritations
