Abstract excerpt

A hypothesis is proposed on the role in the radiation carcinogenesis of mutation and (or) activation of combination of the several prooncogenes, some of which are homologous on the growth factors or probably to the actin. The antibodies to the products of oncogenes may be used to study mechanisms...
