Description
This textbook covers all aspects of radiation, radiotherapy and their effects. The book, initially published in France, has been updated and expanded in this English version. It includes a thorough discussion of recent advances, such as a better understanding of the molecular basis of cellular effects and cell radiosensitivity.There is a study of the mechanmism by which dose and overall duration of radiotherapy can introoduce differential effects between normal and neoplastic tissues and recent data on radiocarcinogenesis in man and experimental animals is provided.
Table of Contents
- Initial physical effects of irradiation-dosimetry
- radiation chemistry
- radiation effects on DNA molecules and chromosomes
- cellular effects of ionizing radiation-cellular survival curves
- effects on healthy tissues
- effects on tumours - the biological basis of radiotherapy
- hypoxic cells and their importance in radiotherapy
- time factors in radiotherapy
- hyperthermia
- chemical modifiers of radiosensitivity
- neutrons and other heavy particles
- radiation effects on the human body - radiopathology.
