The aim - to assess the cytogenetic effects in lymphocytes of cancer patients following radiation treatment, depending on the energy of radiation dose and tumor localization, in order to improve biodosimetry in radiation therapy. Research methods and techniques - cytogenetic analysis of human blood cultured lymphocytes, statistical methods of data processing, microscope Biolam I, Axioskop, Micros MC 300X. Theoretical and practical results - it was shown the excess of chromosomal damage before treatment over spontaneous level in all groups of patients, regardless of tumor localization, and informativity of FPG- and Giemsa-staining to detect this excess was evaluated. The different pace of chromosomal and chromatid type aberrations accumulation in groups of patients with various tumor localizations was found. The monotonic increase of radiation-induced aberrations from beginning to end of treatment in patients with uterine cancer and lung cancer and less pronounced changes in these parameters in patients with head and neck tumors were demonstrated. These data are of importance for correctl assessing the impact of therapeutic irradiation on the chromosomal level. Novelty - within one study the quantitative yield and quality range of cytogenetic damage in lymphocytes of patients with uterine cancer, lung cancer and head and neck cancer before and during gamma-therapy 60Co were identified. Area of application - radiobiology, radiation therapy, biological dosimetry. Product Description popup.authors Білозор Н.В. Кругова І.М. Мазник Н.О. Масіч О.В. Пшенічна Н.Д. Пшишевська Л.А.
