Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The presence of intrinsic radiosensitivity within prostate cancer patients may be an important factor contributing to development of radiation toxicity. We investigated whether variants in genes responsible for detecting and repairing DNA damage independently contribute to toxicity following prostate brachytherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of 41 prostate...
