Based on a popular course given by the author at McGill
University,the bookplaces the traditional tenets of radiation
biology in the context of contemporary cell and molecular
biology. Using terms that non-experts in molecular biology can
understand, it clarifies the underlying mechanisms of radiation
effects on molecular interactions including signal transduction
pathways, modes of cell killing, and non-targeted effects. The
author subsequently associates key principles and advances with
potential applications, including the use of ionizing radiation
as a cytotoxic and cytostatic agent, and radiosensitization by
targeting molecular intermediates or signaling molecules involved
in radiation-induced processes.
