Tumor cure studies on the rat sarcoma BA1112 using continuous low-dose-rate radiation.
Delivery of continuous low-dose-rate radiation at a constant rate using an after-loading plastic helmet system can achieve the local cure of the BA1112 rat sarcoma. Complete dose response curves for local tumor cure have been obtained at 170 rad (1.7 Gy) and 130 rad (1.3 Gy) per hour. The results are consistent with the known radiobiological properties of the BA1112 tumor.
