Abstract:OBJECTIVE: This study focuses on the influence of intra-fraction DNA dam-15 age repair and cellular re-population on biologically effective dose (BED) cased by the source decay at different time points in a source exchange cycle , in order to examine the effect of source decay for different tumor cell lines and normal tissues in Ir192 high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) for cervical cancer.
METHODS: 24 patients who accepted HDR BT were chosen in this study. Radiobiological parameters of T1/2, Tk, Tp and … Show more
