Considerations on the use of the terms radiosensitivity and radiosusceptibility.

Journal of radiological protection : official journal of the Society for Radiological Protection - 1 Sept 2018

Wojcik Andrzej, Bouffler Simon, Hauptmann Michael, Rajaraman Preetha

Abstract excerpt

The separate use of the terms 'radiosensitivity' and 'radiosusceptibility' has been suggested to describe variability in the risk of, respectively, adverse tissue reactions (deterministic effect) following radiotherapy and radiation-induced cancer (stochastic effect). The aim of this note is to present arguments against such distinction. We feel that it is premature to make a concrete final judgement on these...
