STUDIES ON CHROMOSOME ABERRATIONS ' OF LEUKOCYTES IN HUMANS EXPOSED TO RADIATION FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES

摘要

The research was performed in order to obtain quantitative data on chro¬mosome aberrations of leukocytes, induced in patients bearing malignant tumours, by irradiation of a part of the body carried out for therapeutical purposesnNo definite conclusions were reached on the possible influence of X-ray burden on the chromosome aberrations, based on the date of 32 subjectsnThe probability of obtaining positive cultures of lymphocytes in a group of 201 leukocyte cultures was related to erythrocyte sedimentation rate values, leukocyte counts and age
