| Abstract: | With single irradiation, the inhibition of tumor cell division and DNA synthesis was more pronounced than with fractionation irradiation. In fractionated schedules, the dose increase per fraction, and the interval prolongation between fractions, with decrease of the number of fractions (within the same time of irradiation), enhanced the effect of radiation. Yield of pahologic mitoses and extent of morphologic injury of cells was less expressed with fractionated irradiation and did not depend on the schedule of fractionation of the total dose. |
