[ RadSafe ] The Role of Low-Dose Radiation in the Maintenance of Life

[John Jacobus]

Dr. Scott,
Do you also note that radiation may increase cancer
cell proliferation?  I also try to present both sides
of controversial topics.

  Cancer stem cells linked to radiation resistance  

DURHAM, N.C. -- 

Certain types of brain cancer cells, called cancer
stem cells, help brain 
tumors to buffer themselves against radiation
treatment by activating a 
"repair switch" that enables them to continue to grow
unchecked, 
researchers at Duke University Medical Center have
found.
