Fig. 5

Correlation between the mean number of foci per cell at 24 h after the irradiation and the survival fraction after 8 Gy proton beam irradiation (SF8). The clear and filled circles show the irradiated #1 and #2, respectively. The clear and filled squares show the results for position #3 and position #4, respectively. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. A strong negative correlation between the mean number of foci formed per cell and the SF8 was observed in the OE21 cells, and a significant correlation was also found in the KYSE450 cells (p = 0.004)
