Description

RBE and OER were determined for LSA tumor by survival time assay. The RBEn of Cf vs. Cs-137 was 5.8 and the OER was ∼ 1.4 by experiments performed in vitro and assayed in vivo. When tumor was irradiated in an advanced state in the living mouse, the RBEn was determined to be 5.2 vs. Cs-137. The RBE for hypoxic tumor is larger than for the oxic tumor for Cf-252 neutron irradiation. (Auth.)
