内容説明

This volume, the third in the three-part series "Relative Radiation Sensitivities of Human Organ Systems", presents reviews of organ systems not included in the preceding two volumes. Also included are articles on selected treatment modalities. Radiation therapists, oncologists and radiation biologists may find this a useful source of information on responses of cells and organs to radiation and on radiotherapy strategies.

内容説明

Advances in Radiation Biology, Volume18: Relative Radiation Sensitivities of Human Organ Systems, Part IV focuses on the sensitivity of certain human organ systems to radiation exposure. This book discusses the radiation sensitivity of the prostate and radiation therapy of its tumors; clinical radiobiology and normal-tissue morbidity after breast cancer treatment; and approach to optimal therapy and normal-tissue sparing. The fractionation sensitivity of mammalian tissues; trends for improving radiation sensitivity by counteracting chronic and acute hypoxia; and predictive assays in radiation therapy are also elaborated. This publication likewise covers the basic cellular radiobiology and its significance for radiation therapy and classical theoretical approaches to cellular radiosensitivity. This volume is beneficial to clinicians and students intending to gain knowledge of the radiation sensitivities of human organ systems.
