Human HTB140 melanoma cells were irradiated with either gamma rays or protons, over the<br />

dose range of 8 to 24 Gy. Cell growth was investigated using microtetrasolium (MTT) <strong>and</strong><br />

sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays 7 days after irradiation, time needed for cell survival<br />

evaluation. With the increase of dose significant growth inhibition for both irradiation<br />

qualities was detected. The same dose level of protons induced stronger inactivation of<br />

HTB140 cells than single irradiation with gamma rays. Cell proliferation, detected by 5bromo-2<br />

-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay 7 days after proton <strong>and</strong> gamma<br />

irradiation, has shown highly significant (p
