  • Title: [Radiobiological research to optimize high-dose-rate afterloading therapy with Ir-192 in extragenital tumors].
    Author: Brock A, Pohlmann S, Prager W, Prager S.
    Journal: Strahlenther Onkol; 1992 Dec; 168(12):711-5. PubMed ID: 1481121.
    Abstract:
    Since the introduction of the high-dose rate afterloading therapy a higher biological effectivity of this method has been well known in comparison with the low-dose contact therapy. This will practically taken into account by reducing the dose and more fractionating of the total dose. With our test we want: firstly to prove the influence of the therapy break on the duration of the radiation reaction. Secondly we want to prove the influence of the dose rate on the efficiency of the radiation reaction. We have tried to answer the question by the animal model guinea pig skin. We examined early reactions as well late reactions.
