Dose-dependent Changes After Proton and Photon Irradiation in a Zebrafish Model.

Background/aim: The importance of hadron therapy in the cancer management is growing. We aimed to refine the biological effect detection using a vertebrate model.

Materials And Methods: Embryos at 24 and 72 h postfertilization were irradiated at the entrance plateau and the mid spread-out Bragg peak of a 150 MeV proton beam and with reference photons.
