Abstract excerpt
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by photon irradiation are the most deleterious damage for cancer cells and their efficient repair may contribute to radioresistance, particularly in hypoxic conditions. Carbon ions (C-ions) act independently of the oxygen concentration and trigger complex- and clustered-DSBs difficult to repair. Understanding the interrelation between hypoxia, radiation-type, and DNA-repair...
