Low-Dose Radiation Response of Primary Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts from Patients with Cervix Cancer
27 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to examine, using the micronucleus (MN) assay, the low-dose radiation response of normal skin cells from cancer patients and to determine whether the hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS)-like phenomenon occurs in cells of these patients. Primary skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes derived from 40 patients with cervix cancer were studied. After in vitro gamma irradiation with single doses...
