radiosensitive

Highly radiosensitive cancer cells are rapidly killed by modest doses of radiation.

"My guess is that the rocket's built of a radiosensitive alloy which enables it to be moved by remote control," Tom said.

As in testicular seminoma, these tumors are very radiosensitive.

Because cervical cancers are radiosensitive, radiation may be used in all stages where surgical options do not exist.

The surface team on Satellite A found a web of radiosensitive, metallic stuff all over the rock, woven into it in some fashion.

The radiosensitive elements in Alexander's belly listened intently to the wash of chatter from the planet.

Paediatric Radiation Protection Issues: Children are more radiosensitive than adults.

It has been suggested that aneuploid cervical tumours are more radiosensitive than diploid tumours.

The majority of epithelial cancers are only moderately radiosensitive, and require a significantly higher dose of radiation (60-70Gy) to achieve a radical cure.

Radiogram (medicine), a photographic image produced on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light (especially by X-rays or gamma rays)

The resulting whole-body dose may have been hazardous to the salesmen, who were chronically exposed, and to children, who are about twice as radiosensitive as adults.

Medically Demecolcine has been used to improve the results of cancer radiotherapy by synchronising tumour cells at metaphase, the radiosensitive stage of the cell cycle.

In general, cells are most radiosensitive in late M and G phases and most resistant in late S.

Radiation is used to control or cure cancers provided: the tumor targeted falls in the range suitable for radiation, no radiosensitive organs are involved,and it can be meta-sized.

The differences in risk are even greater when considering organ-specific cancers, especially given that both reports identify breast, ovarian, lung, colon, and thyroid tissues as the most radiosensitive among women.

SCLC is highly radiosensitive and thoracic radiation therapy improves survival of patients with LD and ED tumors.

The lungs are a radiosensitive organ, and radiation pneumonitis can occur leading to pulmonary insufficiency and death (100% after exposure to 50 gray of radiation), in a few months.

In one study, the rate of local recurrence among women with strong family histories who were treated with lumpectomy was highest when radiation was omitted, suggesting that these tumors are radiosensitive.

Factors that make cells less radiosensitive are: removal of oxygen to create a hypoxic state, the addition of chemical radical scavengers, the use of low dose rates or multifractionated irradiation, and cells synchronized in the late S phase of the cell cycle.

Mutations in the Artemis complex results in hypersensitivity to DNA double-strand break-inducing agents, such as radiation; and so people with mutations in the Artemis complex may develop radiosensitive severe combined immune deficiency (RS-SCID)

The return trajectory carried back up to the ledge, where robots were running to and fro in confusion and waving things in the air, with a few-presumably the radiosensitive types that Dave Crookes had speculated about- writhing around on the floor under the close-range influence of the flyer's mapping radar.

Moderate hyperthermia, which heats cells in the range of 40 to 42 C, damages cells directly, in addition to making the cells radiosensitive and increasing the pore size to improve delivery of large-molecule chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic agents (molecular weight greater than 1,000 Daltons), such as monoclonal antibodies and liposome-encapsulated drugs.
