Reference: Deweese TL, Shipman JM, Dillehay LE, and Nelson WG. Sensitivity of human prostatic carcinoma lines to low dose rate radiation exposure. Journal of Urology. 159, 591-598 (1998). Data: Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and as a webpage. DU-145 human prostate carcinoma cells were irradiated by gamma-rays from Cs-137 (dose rates of 0.25 and 60 Gy/hour). Measured data (filled symbols) were digitized from the published figures using UnGraph. The calibrated LPL, RMR, and TLK input files give equally good fits to the measured data as a function of dose and dose rate (solid black lines in the surviving fraction vs. dose plot; see below). The LQ model also provides an adequate fit to the available data. Analysis: |

LQ Model:
An LQ analysis
of the DU-145 data yields point estimates of
a
and a/b
equal to 0.159 Gy-1 and 6.287 Gy, respectively. The 95%
confidence interval for
a/b
is (4.091 Gy, 9.743 Gy). The point estimate for the repair half-time is
5.674 h, and the 95% confidence interval is (2.705 h, 7.125 h). The paired
bootstrap technique for regression (Efron 1979) was used to compute 95%
confidence intervals for the estimated radiosensitivity parameters. Tip: The LQ is a low dose, low dose rate approximation for the LPL and RMR models (see Brenner et al. 1998, Guerrero et al. 2002, Sachs et al. 1997). |
