The proliferative activity of carcinomas of the cervix after radiation therapy
Acta Histochemica. Supplementband
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
The findings obtained so far from 15 patients with advanced non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix uteri show a growing fall in 3H-thymidine incorporation at different intervals during radiation therapy under the application of 2,000 to 5,000 rad. The radiogenic reduction of S-phase nuclei occurs at lower radiation doses than do changes in the histopathological structure; this reduction is however ambiguous, since it is no more than just a rough indication of the decreasing proliferative intensity.

02:23Abnormal Proliferation
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter...
01:25Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity
Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity refer to the ability of drugs to cause genetic defects and induce cancer, respectively. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies agents into four groups based on their carcinogenic potential. Group 1 agents are known human carcinogens; group 2A agents are probably carcinogenic to humans; group 3 agents lack data to support their role in carcinogenesis; and group 4 includes agents for which data support that they are not likely to be...
