Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Complementary medicine like mistletoe are common to support standard therapies, but published data, especially to irradiation, are rare.
The radiosensitivity of Viscum album extract (VAE) in human mammary adenocarcinoma cell lines MCF-7 and SK-BR-3 was tested in different assays with increasing irradiation dose. Both cell lines show a different behavior related to cytotoxic effects of VAE. Depending on radiation doses VAE increases or reduces radiosensitivity.
