摘要: Methods for predicting the outcome of radiation treatment are discussed. The correlation tumour decrease during irradiation with recurrence-free survival is poor. A reliable method long-term result therapy urgently needed. using flow cytometry, electron microscopy and positron emission tomography short-lived radiopharmaceuticals under investigation.
