We collected peripheral blood (PB) from 556 patients with various types of cancer who had undergone radiotherapy and from 81 healthy volunteers. We exposed whole PB and Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBLs) derived from the PB mononucleocytes to X-irradiation (5 Gy). Using the alkaline comet assay, we measured the immediate DNA damage and, at 15 min, the % residual damage. In PB, the immediate damage was similar in patients and healthy volunteers while the % residual damage (mean +/- S.D.) was significantly higher in patients with breast (54.3 +/- A23.9), cervical (54.7 +/- A23.9), head/neck (56.8 +/- A24.4), lung (60.1 +/- 23.5), or esophageal cancers (59.5 +/- 33.7) than in healthy donors (42.9 +/- 19.6) (P < 0.05). We did not observe such differences in the EBV-transformed cell lines. Thus, radiation sensitivity of fresh PB cells measured by the alkaline comet assay was related to cancer status.
