Abstract Background and purpose Compared to conventional external beam radiotherapy IMRT requires significantly more time to deliver the dose. Prolonging dose delivery potentially increases DNA repair which would reduce the biological effect. We questioned whether retention of yH2AX a measure of lack of repair of DNA damage would decrease when dose delivery was protracted. Materials and methods Exponentially growing SiHa cervical carinoma cells were irradiated with 6 MV photons in a water tank using a VarianEX linear accelerator. Cells held at 37 C received 2 Gy in 0.5 min and 4 Gy in I min. To evaluate effect of dose delivery prolongation 2 and 4 Gy were delivered in 30 and 60 min. After 24 h recovery cells were analyzed for clonogenic survival and for residual yH2AX as measured using flow cytometry. Results Increasing the dose delivery time from 0.5 or 1 min to 30 or 60 min produced a signficant increase in cell .
