Résumé

Our study investigated the influence of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) treatment, inducing raised hemoglobin levels in nonanemic mice, on intratumor oxygenation before and during fractionated irradiation. Furthermore, the consequences of rHuEPO administration on tumor response to fractionated radiotherapy (RT) were evaluated.
