Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Radiotherapy affects both cancer and healthy cells, potentially causing side effects. Factors like total dose administered or patient individual characteristics, such as genetic variability, influence radiotoxicity. Several biomarkers have been proposed to predict radiotoxicity, especially those based on apoptosis or DNA damage, like γ-H2AX, which correlates with DNA breaks. Our aim is to analyze how...
