Cell survival following treatment with the drugs and/or radiation was determined by colony formation assays. Prolonged exposure of 5-FU as well as CDDP was very effective in killing cells. The combination of radiation with 24-hour continuous exposure of the drugs resulted in radiosensitization, while 1-hour pulse exposure of CDDP combined with radiation did not enhance cell killing, indicating that radiosensitization by CDDP may require a longer duration of drug exposure following irradiation. In addition, concurrent continuous exposure of 5-FU and CDDP in combination with radiation resulted in a greater radiosensitizing effect.}, pages = {141--145}, title = {Radiosensitization of FM3A Cells by 5-Fluorouracil Plus Cisplatin}, volume = {44}, year = {1996} }
