Redistribution can be a benefit in a course of fractionated radiotherapy if the cancer cells can be caught in mitosis after each fraction, or detrimental if they have reached a resistant phase of the cell cycle. In theory, it ought to be possible to adjust the interval between fractions so as to gain maximum benefit from redistribution, but to date there has been no evidence that such an advantage can be obtained in practice. Consequently, potential effects of redistribution are generally ignored when designing fractionation strategies.
