EFFECT OF RADIOTHERAPY-INDUCED ALTERATION OF INDIVIDUAL RADIOSENSITIVITY ON DEVELOPMENT OF SIDE EFFECT IN CANCER PATIENTS

Olga Sevriukova, Aista Plieskienė, Kamilė Guogytė, Rima Ladygienė, Julius Žiliukas, Vinsas Janušonis Abstract Ionizing radiation is commonly used for cancer treatment. Human response to the same dose of ionizing radiation can vary among individuals, therefore individual radiosensitivity (IRS) was proposed to be an important factor for development of radiotherapy (RT) related side effects. Ionizing radiation especially…

Micronuclei And G2 Assays For Assessment Of Chromosomal Radiosensitivity As Assistant Tool In Radiotherapy: Method-Comparison Study

Kamilė Guogytė, Aista Plieskienė, Olga Sevriukova, Rima Ladygienė, Julius Žiliukas, Vinsas Janušonis Abstract Radiation therapy is widely used for cancer treatment. Medical application of ionizing radiation can cause different responses in human depending on individual radiosensitivity. Therefore, assessment of individual radiosensitivity could be proposed as assistant tool in optimizing radiotherapy. The cytokinesis- block micronucleus and…
