Increased chromosomal radiosensitivity in breast cancer patients: a comparison of two assays
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: It has been shown previously that sensitivity to the induction of chromosome damage by ionizing radiation is, on average, higher in G2 or G0 lymphocytes of breast cancer patients than of normal healthy controls. The authors suggested that elevated chromosomal radiosensitivity may be a marker for breast cancer predisposition. To investigate whether the G0 micronucleus assay is a true surrogate for the...
