The experimental survival curve for irradiated cells can be represented by where there are N survivors from an initial population of N0 after dose D, D0 is the dose required for one “hit” per target and n targets are irradiated (Johns, 1964). When clinically derived values of D0 and n are used in this equation the resulting curve fits experimental results (Andrews, 1968). Factors affecting D0 and/or n change the ratio N/N0 for a given dose D. Hyperbaric oxygen is one such factor (Deschmer & Gray, 1959; Gray, 1961) and a rise in the temperature of the irradiated cells another (Dewey & Freeman, 1980). The change produced by this latter effect is in a favourable direction (Westra, 1971). For this change to be clinically valid, hyperthermia in conjunction with ionising radiation must neither be toxic to normal tissue nor increase the morbidity of the X-ray dose on normal tissue. At 41.8°C, the limiting temperature for human liver, there is no demonstrable harm to normal tissue (Law & Pettigrew, 1980) nor is t...
