It includes analysis of the physical aspects of the problem, a chemical study, several radiobiological studies, a short clinical report and a commentary.* Next article FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byAn Evaluation of Elective Irradiation of Neck Nodes in Patients with Cancer of the Supraglottic Larynx17 April 2018 | Tumori Journal, Vol. 67, No. 2The R.B.E. of 60 Co Gamma Rays with Respect to 300 kVp X-rays for the Survival of HeLa S-3 and CHO Cells, Irradiated in Different States of Proliferation3 July 2009 | International Journal of Radiation Biology and Related Studies in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine, Vol. 26, No. 4Oral cavity cancerThe effect of dose-rate and anoxia on the radiation-induced loss of macromolecules into the intestineShirley Hornsey and M.
