Time-dose relationships for the cure of an experimental rat tumor with fractionated radiation

TL;DR: An analysis of tumor cure time-dose relationship and the known in vivo and in vitro characteristics of the tumor cells suggests that there is effective reoxygenation in fractionation schemes longer than 10 days, and that repair of sublethal damage is a more important factor in the increases of the tumors cure dose with fractionation than is repopulation between treatments.
