Radiation-Induced Cellular Adaptive Response.

摘要

One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for determining an adaptive response of a tumor during radiation therapy. A second aspect of the present invention relates to a method for determining a substantially optimal dose of radiation therapy based on a cells ability to undergo an adaptive response. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for identifying small molecule compounds that are effective chemotherapeutic agents for use during and after radiation therapy.
