Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy and brachytherapy are common treatments for localized prostate cancer (PCa). However, very few studies evaluated the association of variations in DNA damage response genes and treatment outcomes and toxicity in brachytherapy-treated patients. PURPOSE: To evaluate the association of inherited germline variations in DNA repair-associated genes with tumor control and treatment toxicity in...
