Modern View of the Problem of Radiation Carcinogenesis
E.A. Domina
Abstract:Summary. Genetic and epigenetic determinants of radiation carcinogenesis are presented. Unlike genetic ones, changes arising from epigenetic modifications are potentially reversible. An increase in the power and dose of ionizing radiation leads to a decrease in the promoter and an increase in the initiating function of radiation in the development of radiation carcinogenesis. The problem of radiation carcinogenesis consists in understanding the mechanisms of action of radiation in small doses on the human geno… Show more
