Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine whether genetic variability in TGFB1 is related to circulating transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plasma concentrations after radiotherapy and to radiosensitivity of lymphoid cells. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Transforming growth factor-β1 plasma concentrations (n=79) were measured in patients 1 year after radiotherapy and chromosomal aberrations (n=71) ex vivo before therapy start....
