Differential Response of NORMAL and Tumour Oesophageal Explant Cultures to Radiation
Abstract
An in vitro method is described which allows radiation dose response data to be obtained for samples of oesophageal mucosa obtained from patients undergoing resection for adeno or squamous cell carcinoma. Data are obtained using a growth endpoint from explant cultures and may be expressed in terms of absolute growth inhibition or reduced rate of growth. Radiation dose response curves suggest that cell survival is in the range expected for …
