Two rat yolk sac tumor cell lines, NMT-1 and NMT-1R, are of the same origin and of different sensitivity to irradiation and to heat. The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivities of these two cell lines to combined treatments of low-dose irradiation at 2 Gy and hyperthermia at 42 degree...
