Cell Type Sensitivity to Radiation Damage

December 8, 2014

Radiation therapy is commonly given to oncology patients as an adjunct to surgery and chemotherapy. While the aim of all radiation oncologists is to reduce damage to non-cancerous cells, radiation damage to tissues surround the tumor is unavoidable.

Depending on cell type, each cell has a different sensitivity. In descending order of radiation sensitivity these cells are:

tumor cells
endothelium
fibroblasts
muscle
nerve cells
