Radiosensitivity compared between healthy individuals and cancer patients and the occurrence of CCR dependent on age. Averaged radiosensitivity in healthy individuals younger than 40, 50, 60 or 70 years or equal or greater than 40, 50, 60, 70 years, compared to patients within the same age groups (a). Complex chromosome rearrangements per metaphase in healthy individuals (b) and cancer patients (c) after irradiation with a dose of 2 Gy. P-values ≤0.05 are marked with one asterisk, P-values ≤0.01 are marked with two
