4 R’s of radiobiology
• Repair
– Repair of sub-lethal DNA damage
• Redistribution
– Radiosensitivity depends on phase in the cell cycle →
redistribution changes radiosensitivity
• Repopulation
– Cell divide during a radiotherapy treatment
• Reoxygenation
– Radiosensitivity changes due to change in
oxygenation
