On the mechanism of synergistic carocinogenic effect of radiation and other agents: role of mutation and activation of oncogenes and genes which control the growth factor synthesis

A hypothesis is proposed on the role in the radiation carcinogenesis of mutation and (or) activation of combination of the several prooncogenes, some of which are homologous of the growth factors or probably to the actin. The antibodies to the products of oncogenes may be used to study mechanisms of carcinogenic action of radiation and other factors or even as diagnostic tool or remedy
