Is CEM43 still a relevant thermal dose parameter for hyperthermia treatment monitoring?
GC van Rhoon - International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
CEM43 has its roots in the direct cytotoxic effect of heat, whereby the amount of cell death
depends on the temperature and exposure time. CEM43 is a normalising method to convert …
