1. Redistribution
2. Repair 3. Repopulation 4. Reoxygenation |
1. Redistribution
Cells more sensitive in mitotic phase, and by fractionating you catch more in the mitotic phase 2. Repair normal tissue will repair between doses, cancer might not 3. Repopulation allows normal cells time to repopulate 4. reoxygenation allows time for cancer cells to become reoxygenated (center often crappy blood supply), making them sensitive again |
