Assessing the Radiation Response of Lung Cancer with Different Gene Mutations Using Genetically Engineered Mice

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are a heterogeneous group of carcinomas harboring a variety of different gene mutations. We have utilized two distinct genetically engineered mouse models of human NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) to investigate how genetic factors within tumor parenchymal cells influence the in vivo tumor growth delay after one or two fractions of radiation therapy (RT). MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
