Radiation Sensitivity Studies: The Trial of the Comet-assay And Colony-forming Assay

Abstract

It is well known, that the biological answer for radiation treatment varies between patients.
Many researchers and authors are focusing on the potential practical consequences of
individual radio sensitivity. It would be useful to introduce a similar procedure for disaster
workers or soldiers who might work in a radiation hazard area.

We discuss here a possible, but rather controversial method for screening radiation sensitivity.
