Predictive SNPs for radiation-induced damage in lung cancer patients with radiotherapy: a potential strategy to individualize treatment.

Abstract excerpt

In the treatment of lung cancer, radiotherapy has become one of the most important therapies, despite its sometimes unpredictable side effects. As such, identifying lung cancer patients who are at high risk of developing severe radiation-induced damage (mainly radiation pneumonitis and radiation-induced esophageal toxicity) and applying effect intervention or monitoring techniques are important. Although human...
