Colony formation of MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells after irradiation and/or hyperthermia. MCF-7 (a, b) or MDA-MB231 (a, c) tumor cells were irradiated with ionizing radiation (IR) and/or treated with hyperthermia (41,5 °C for 1 h). The cells were irradiated 4 h before or after HT treatment. The dose-dependent clonogenic potential (surviving fraction) was determined after 2 weeks of incubation. Representative data of one out of three experiments, each performed in triplicates, are presented as mean ± SD. Gy: Gray; HT: hyperthermia; w/o: mock treated control. + p <0,05, ++ p <0,01; § p <0,05, §§p <0,01 HT + RT compared to RT only treated; ^ p <0,05, ^^ p <0,01 RT + HT compared to RT only treated
