Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the relationship between loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor (M6P/IGF2R) gene locus and the development of radiation-induced lung injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-five lung cancer patients with both stored plasma for Transforming Growth Factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) analysis and sufficient quantities of archival pathology tissue to...
