Abstrakt: The therapeutic value of pion irradiation was critically challenged by examining, in a cell culture system, various parameters of biological significance such as relative biological efficiency (RBE), oxygen enhancement ratio (OER), DNA-break formation, changes in cell cycle kinetics and regrowth. In all parameters, pions were superior to conventional low-LET radiation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
