Claim:
1. A method of treating a cancer in a mammalian patient by a radiation therapy comprising the following steps in order: transmitting a non-cytotoxic dose of radiation to a tumor tissue, wherein the dose of radiation comprises short pulsed radiation collimated into arrays of highly parallel beams of microscopic cross-section provided by a synchrotron radiation source, which are adapted to generate at least one microscopic damage region in at least one boundary wall structure of a supply portion of the tissue, the supply portion being a blood vessel, and wherein during the delivery of the dose of radiation a total beam exposure by the sum of microbeams is less than 30 seconds; and subsequently administering a preparation comprising at least one chemotherapeutic or cytotoxic substance to the patient after the transmittal of the dose of radiation, such that the chemotherapeutic or cytotoxic substance reaches the at least one microscopic damage region before the at least one microscopic damage region is completely cured by endogenous tissue repair.
