Abstract excerpt
Inherent cellular radioresistance plays a critical role in the failure of radiotherapy. Although the consequences of radioresistance are well known, the molecular, biological, and cellular bases of radioresistance remain a mystery. We propose that genomic instability, the increased rate of acquisition of alterations in the mammalian genome, can directly modulate cells' sensitivity to radiation. In particular,...
