Purpose To determine the Impact of prolonged fraction delivery times (FDTs) simulating intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on cultured nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell killingMethods and Material Cultured NPC cell lines CNE1 and CNE2 were used in this study The biological effectiveness of fractionated irradiation protocols simulating conventional external beam radiotherapy and IMRT (FDT of 15, 36, and 50 minutes) was estimated with standard colony assay, and the differences in cell surviving fractions after irradiation with different protocols were tested by use of the paired t test The Impact degree of prolonged FDTs (from 8 to 50 minutes) on cell killing was also assessed by the dose modifying factors, which were estimated by comparing the effectiveness of intermittently delivered 2 Gy with that of continuously delivered 1 5 to 2 GyResults The cell surviving fractions of both CNE1 and CNE2 after fractionated irradiation simulating IMRT were higher than those simulating conventional external beam radiotherapy (p < 0 05) The dose modifying factors for a fraction dose of 2 Gy increased from 105 to 118 for CNE1 and from 105 to 111 for CNE2 with the FDT being prolonged from 15 to 50 minutesConclusions This study showed that the prolonged FDTs simulating IMRT significantly decreased the cell killing in both CNE1 and CNE2 cell lines, and these negative effects increased with the FDT being prolonged from 15 to 50 minutes These effects, if confirmed by in vivo and clinical studies, need to be considered in designing IMRT treatments for NPC (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc
