Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: TP53BP1 is a key component of radiation-induced deoxyribonucleic acid damage repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of a known common single nucleotide polymorphism in this gene (rs560191) in patients treated with breast-conserving surgery and whole-breast irradiation (BCS + RT). METHODS AND MATERIALS: The population consisted of 176 premenopausal women treated with BCS + RT...
