Genomic instability and radiation-induced cancer

Obiettivo

The recent discovery of radiation-induced genomic instability has raised concern for its implication in the radiation protection of the public, especially, quantification of human risk for low doses and high LET exposure. The role of radiation-induced genomic instability in radiation carcinogenesis will be studied with animal models and mechanistic investigations of induction and transmission. Genes and genome regions involved will be studied and the basis of individual susceptibility investigated. The relationship of genomic instability endpoints to radiation dose, dose rate and quality will be determined. The proposal brings together all major European laboratories involved in the discovery, characterization and mechanistic investigation of radiation-induced genomic instability. A state of the art working document on the relevance of genomic instability for cancer risk assessment will be prepared for the use of European decision makers.
