Discovery of Biomarkers for Intrinsic Radiation Sensitivity in Cancer Patients
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Patients with cancers that are sensitive to radiotherapy treatment and/or patients who have experienced severe acute/ late side effects to radiotherapy will be recruited to the study. Blood and/or matched tumour-normal tissue pairs will be collected. Blood and/or tissue samples will be processed and studied for genetic and biochemical markers that have potential to be used for predicting sensitivity to radiation.
