Background: Ionizing radiation DNA damage is the main mechanism of radiotherapy (RT) action and the outcome of treatment and healthy tissue toxicity is influenced by a number of external and internal factors, including mutations in DNA damage recognition and repair. Disorders of DNA repair may result in increased sensitivity to cancer treatment.
Purpose: The mechanism of DNA repair and an overview of genetic syndromes with mutations in genes involved in DNA repair clarify the accelerated carcinogenesis and increased radiosensitivity in RT cancers.

The presented study is devoted to the investigation of the micellization-induced liquid-liquid fluctuations in sodium decanoate (NaD) aqueous solutions, based on the vibrational spectroscopic study of NaD and the determination of critical micelle concentration (CMC) of this system. At the same time, we focused on monitoring the effect of the addition of decanol to this system and changing its basic parameters from the point of view of CMC. CMC is an important parameter from a practical point of view and a characteristic feature of each micelle-forming compound.
