Clonogenic survival in normal tissues
summary
Stem cells from different
tissues show large differences
in radiosensitivity, as
determined in assays of
clonogenic survival
This only partly reflects the
different sensitivities of
different organs, as many
other factors determine the
radiation response and
tolerance of different organs,
especially late responding
organs like CNS, lung, kidney,
etc
