Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the time-dependence of the beta-ATP peak of different tumor cells in vitro as a gauge of overall metabolism. In view of the large circaseptan-over-circadian prominence of the time-dependence of the beta-ATP peak, it is suggested to modulate the administration of radiotherapy according to a weekly schedule, to optimize treatment efficacy.
