Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as an indirect product of radiation therapy (RT). Genetic variation in genes related to ROS metabolism may influence the level of RT-induced adverse effects. We evaluated the potential association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-related response to radiotherapy injury in breast cancer patients undergoing RT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty patients...
