Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To evaluate whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reflecting common variation in the tumor suppressor BRCA1 affect prostate cancer outcomes. Because radiation therapy (RT) induces DNA damage, we hypothesized that common variation in BRCA1 has a role in progression to lethal prostate cancer, particularly in patients receiving RT. METHODS: We followed 802 men diagnosed with localized prostate...
