Treatment
It is considered that the overall condition of patients who
received either smaller doses (1-2Gy) or very high doses
(8-12Gy) of radiation shall not change much, after medical
care and treatment. This is because the small doses group of
patients has a 0%-5% chance of fatal results within the next
2 months, while in the higher doses group all patients are
expected to die within the next 14 days. For patients who
received the intermediate level of doses (between 2-8Gy),
medical treatment may increase survival by 50%. Not to forget
that in this intermediate group of patients death may
also appear in 5% of the cases, unrelated to medical treat
