Description
The aim of this research is to investigate whether heavy ion radiation cause mammary tumors in rats of lactation period and to find useful protectors against the incidence of the mammary tumors. This year, we have continued the irradiation experiment to study the radiation dose dependent mammary tumor formation. We totally irradiated 23-24 rats for each group (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 Gy) and found that the incidence of mammary tumors saturated at 0.5 Gy. Using this dose, we began the experiments to examine the protecting effect of amifostine against heavy ion radiation-induced mammary tumors. (author)
