Abstract
Radiotherapy treatment of cancer is often limited by the side effects induced in normal surrounding tissues. So extensive studies have been carried out to investigate the cytogenetic hazards of radiation exposure, others have been focused on some compounds that exerted radiation protection against these hazards.
