Table 1.

Thermal enhancement factor (TEF) from the comet assay for heated DU145 spheroids exposed to 15 MV photons at 2 and 4 Gy radiation doses


Dose (Gy) Mean tail moment* TEF**
RT alone RF HT+RT

2 0.60 ± 0.02 0.89 ± 0.14 1.48
4 0.78 ± 0.03 1.98 ± 0.18 2.54

RF HT; Radiofrequency hyperthermia, RT; Radiation therapy, *; Mean tail moment values in this table were obtained from data shown in Figure 4, and **; Mean tail moment after RF HT+RT divided by mean tail moment after RT alone.
