Abstract
Wide-shouldered survival curves are demonstrated in cultured human anoxic melanoma cells subjected to different radiotherapy schedules. Cell survival curves are calculated according to predetermined mathematical models. A 3 stage radiation program is effective in reducing the width of the survival curve and is suggested for radiotherapy of patients with malignant melanoma.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
