Assessment of chemotherapy‐induced DNA damage in peripheral blood leukocytes of cancer patients using the alkaline comet assay
12 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
The alkaline comet assay was employed to assess the pre- and post-treatment levels of in vivo DNA damage in peripheral blood leukocytes of cancer patients. During the study all patients were given antineoplastic drugs, mainly as polychemotherapy. To quantify the DNA damage, two different comet parameters were evaluated: the tail length and the tail moment. Our results indicate marked interindividual variations...
