Howard,
Is this the meeting you are speaking about?
DOCTORS FOR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS NEWSLETTER

VOL. XVIII, NO. 4
RADIATION VERSUS CANCER
Most people think of radiation as a cause of cancer: as indeed it is in high
dosage. In very high, concentrated dosage, it is also a palliative (or
sometimes curative) measure through destruction of tumor cells.
Howard,
Does anyone know the mechanism for this? Is it because the immune system up
regulates tha amount of inflamatory cytokines?
