Biologists and radiotherapists present their experimentalwork and clinical data in the field of radiation injuries ofnormal tissues and organs. The maintopics discussed are the importance of microvasculature,time, doseand fractionation and factors modifying clinicalradioresponse for early andlate radiation effects.
