What Drives Radiation Sensitivity in Lymphoma?

The old radiobiology view of

RT sensitivity in lymphoma

Lymphoma = Apoptosis = Radiosensitive

RT sensitivity in lymphoma,

in the molecular age…

Lymphoma gene expression profiles may predict

differences in radiosensitivity

Figure from:

Radiobiology for the Radiologist

By Eric J. Hall, Amato J. Giaccia

Wide spectrum of response to RT in lymphoma (4-40 Gy):

Dramatic variations in radiosensitivity can be explained by

molecular differences in the tumor
