Ionising radiation remains one of the most effective tools in the therapy of cancer. It combines the properties of an extremely efficient DNA-damaging agent with a high degree of spatial specificity. Nonetheless, there remain considerable differences in the outcome for treatment of tumours of differing histological type treated by radiotherapy. Tumours arising from lymphoid or germ cells are significantly more radiocurable than most solid tumours of epithelial origin. The molecular mechanisms underlying such differences in cellular radiosensitivity are the subject of current research. When normal mammalian cells are subjected to stress signals--e.g. radiation, chemotherapeutic drugs, oxygen deficiency--a range of gene products involved in the sensing and signalling of such stresses are activated. The response of eukaryotic cells to ionising radiation includes activation of DNA repair pathways and cell cycle checkpoints, with subsequent full 'biological' recovery or cell death. Radiation induces two different modes of cell death termed mitotic or clonogenic cell death, and apoptosis. Until recent years, there was surprisingly little mechanistic understanding of the events following induction of physical damage by radiation and biological outcome for the cell. There have been recent major advances in our understanding of the signal transduction pathways involved in determining the fate of cells after irradiation.
