Genome‐wide transcriptomic profiling of microdissected human breast tissue reveals differential expression of KIT (c‐Kit, CD117) and oestrogen receptor‐α (ERα) in response to therapeutic radiation

Abstract excerpt

The pathogenesis of late normal tissue fibrosis after high-dose ionizing radiation involves multiple cell types and signalling pathways but is not well understood. To identify the molecular changes occurring after radiotherapy, paired normal tissue samples were collected from the non-irradiated breast and from the treated breast of women who had undergone curative radiotherapy for early breast cancer months or...
