Chromosome damage induced by DNA topoisomerase II inhibitors combined with g-radiation in vitro

Combined radiation and antineoplastic drug treatment have important applications in cancer therapy. In the present work, an evaluation was made of two known topoisomerase II inhibitors, doxorubicin (DXR) and mitoxantrone (MXN), with g-radiation. The effects of DXR or MXN on g-radiation-induced chrom...
