[The effect of radiation on malignant cells].
Mechanisms of death following irradiation of malignant cells are incompletely understood. Radiation-induced lesions and their consequences on the cancer cell are described. Factors conditioning malignant cell response to radiation are discussed, as well as the mechanisms of radiation-induced carcinogenesis. Finally, the recent molecular biology contributions to gene regulation during cell growth are presented.
