Abstract excerpt
Interindividual variations in radiotoxicity responses exist despite uniform treatment protocols. It is speculated that normal genetic variants, particularly single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may influence normal head and neck (HN) tissue radiotoxicity. This first-ever systematic review was undertaken to evaluate the association of SNPs with normal HN tissues radiotoxicity. Multiple databases (1950-February...
