Abstract excerpt
New insights into molecular mechanisms responsible for cellular radiation response are coming from recent basic radiobiological studies. Preliminary data supporting the concept of clinical radiosensitivity as a complex genetically controlled event are available, and it seems reasonable to hypothesize that genes encoding for proteins implicated in known radiation-induced pathways, such as DNA repair, could...
