ProSteR: Radiation-induced leukaemia in children: response of hematopoietic stem cells to photon and proton therapy Ghent University
Epidemiological studies have highlighted that leukemia can be considered as the most important
malignancy after radiation exposure during childhood. The high risk is related to the high sensitivity
of the bone marrow at young ages. Since the red bone marrow harbors hematopoietic stem and
progenitor cells (HSPCs), a better understanding of the response to protons and photons of these
HSPCs is ...
