Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to identify noninvasive markers of treatment-induced side effects. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated after irradiation, and genetic variation in genes related to ROS metabolism might influence the level of radiation-induced adverse effects (AEs). METHODS AND MATERIALS: 92 breast cancer (BC) survivors previously treated with hypofractionated radiation therapy were...
