Radiosensitizating Effect of Taxol on Malignant Tumor Cells

Cytology and Genetics 2001, v 35, number 1, 16-21

Radiosensitizating abilities of taxol have been investigated using in vitro L₉₂₉ cell system and Geren carcinoma (T-8 cell line) as in vivo system. Radiosensitizating effect of taxol was detected for the both cell lines. Pathologic mitoses have been also analyzed and increasing of abnormal mitosis total level was observed. It is supposed that this phenomenon could determine radiosensitizating abilities of taxol.
