OXYGEN EFFECT IN CLINICAL RADIOTHERAPY--FUNDAMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS IN RESPECT TO CLINICAL TRIALS
Journal Article
·
· J. Coll. Radiol. Australasia
Theoretical considerations, as well as experimental and clinical aspects, forming the basis and rationale of the newly developed high-pressure oxygen radiotherapy techniques, are discussed. Improvement of the ratio of radiosensitivity between tumors and normal tissues, with respect to oxygen- enhanced radiosensitivity can be obtained either by anoxemic conditions which favorably lowers O/sub 2/ tension in normal tissues, or by barotherapy as described. Various other aspects of this new technique, such as fractionation of dose, dosimetry, and selection of patients, are also discussed. (BBB)
