X Abstract

A previously proposed mathematical model for the description of the effects of simultaneous action of hyperthermia and ionizing radiation was used to predict the successive treatment of these agents. The model suggests that the synergistic effect of combined action of ionizing radiation and hyperthermia is caused by additional lethal damages arising from the interaction of sublesions induced by both agents. These sublesions are not lethal after the action of these modalities, each taken alone. The model was tested against experimental data reported by other authors. The applicability of the proposed model was demonstrated to predict the dose modifying factor and the limited modification of mammalian cell radiosensitivity by hyperthermia as well as to reveal a more effective sequence of these agents.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
