Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate whether amifostine is effective at reducing the yield of chromatid breaks when present during G(2)-phase irradiation of human normal cells and cells from cancer prone patients, as well as to study the mechanisms underlying the radioprotective effect of amifostine. MATERIALS AND METHODS: G(2) chromosomal radiosensitivity in the presence or absence of amifostine was studied in healthy...
