Micronuclei in Cytokinesis-blocked Lymphocytes of Cancer Patients Following Fractionated Partial-body Radiotherapy
1 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
We applied the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay to measure chromosome damage in lymphocytes of 11 cancer patients undergoing fractionated partial-body irradiation. Measurements performed before, during and after cessation of radiotherapy showed a dose-related increase in micronucleus frequency in each of the patients studied. When the results for micronucleus frequency (Y) were plotted against the estimated...
