Bystander effects in tumor-free and tumor-bearing rat brains following irradiation by synchrotron X-rays
Abstract
PURPOSE: Synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a radiosurgery concept in the preclinical stage, developed mainly for brain tumor treatment. Experimental studies suggest that with MRT a better therapeutic index can be obtained than with homogenous field radiotherapy, but the underlying cellular mechanisms need further understanding. The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBE) in …
