When we begin to evaluate any therapeutic agent, we need first of all to study its direct effect on physiological or pathological processes in the organism, organs and tissues. In radiotherapy this assessment was earlier complicated by the fact that we did not yet have sufficient biological data, on the basis of which we could speak about the direct action of X-rays on organs and their functions. Only recently separate experimenters resorted to the technique of tissue cultures in the explant to solve this question.
