- Mit dem englischen Begriff Log cell kill, oft auch Fractional cell kill oder Fractional kill genannt, wird eine Hypothese in der Onkologie bezeichnet. Es gibt derzeit keine adäquate deutschsprachige Bezeichnung für die Hypothese, die besagt, dass bei jedem Zyklus einer Chemotherapie oder Strahlentherapie der gleiche Anteil, aber nicht die gleiche absolute Anzahl an Krebszellen abgetötet wird.

- In oncology, the fact that one round of chemotherapy does not kill all the cells in a tumor is a poorly understood phenomenon called fractional kill, or fractional cell kill. The fractional kill hypothesis states that a defined chemotherapy concentration, applied for a defined time period, will kill a constant fraction of the cells in a population, independent of the absolute number of cells. In solid tumors, poor access of the tumor to the drug can limit the fraction of tumor cells killed, but the validity of the fractional kill hypothesis has also been established in animal models of leukemia, as well as in human leukemia and lymphoma, where drug access is less of an issue. Because only a fraction of the cells die with each treatment, repeated doses must be administered to continue to reduce the size of the tumor. Current chemotherapy regimens apply drug treatment in cycles, with the frequency and duration of treatments limited by toxicity to the patient. The goal is to reduce the tumor population to zero with successive fractional kills. For example, assuming a 99% kill per cycle of chemotherapy, a tumor of 1011 cells would be reduced to less than one cell with six treatment cycles: 1011 * 0.016 < 1. However, the tumor can also re-grow during the intervals between treatments, limiting the net reduction of each fractional kill. (en)
