Radiation Effects in Man: Manifestations and Therapeutic Efforts

Abstract

The goal of the program has been to obtain new information regarding the pathophysiologic, psychologic, immunologic, hematologic, and biochemical effects of total- and partial-body irradiation in human beings. Irradiated patients all of whom have inoperable, metastatic carcinoma but are in relatively good health, provide the opportunity to study multiple facets of the effects of radiation in man rather than in experimental animal. The extrapolation of results from laboratory animals to man is fraught with error. Biochemical and psychological studies have extended the findings of previous report in depth and scope. Several new biological dosimeters are under evaluation.
