Impact of hypoxia on the double-strand break repair after photon and carbon ion irradiation of radioresistant HNSCC cells

Abstract DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induced by photon irradiation are the most deleterious damage for cancer cells and their efficient repair may contribute to radioresistance, particularly in hypoxic conditions. Carbon ions (C-ions) act independently of the oxygen concentration and trigger com...
