Inherent radiosensitivity and its impact on breast cancer chemo-radiotherapy
About 10% of apparently normal individuals are sensitive to clastogenic effects of physico-chemical agents. More than 45% of breast cancer patients’ exhibit elevated radiosensitivity. Although the nature of inherent radiosensitivity is not fully understood, but insufficiency and impaired DNA repair mechanism might be prime cause of radiosensitivity. This is evident from genetically affect...
متن کاملPredicting Factors of Radiosensitivity in Individual Radiotherapy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Radiation dose in oncology protocols is different for each patient according to the type and grade of the tumor, as well as adjuvant therapies. In the current treatment regimens, some predicting factors of individual radiosensitivity have not been considered. Individual radiotherapy can lower side effects through radiation dose reduction with respect to tumor control. ...
متن کاملA proliferation saturation index to predict radiation response and personalize radiotherapy fractionation
BACKGROUND Although altered protocols that challenge conventional radiation fractionation have been tested in prospective clinical trials, we still have limited understanding of how to select the most appropriate fractionation schedule for individual patients. Currently, the prescription of definitive radiotherapy is based on the primary site and stage, without regard to patient-specific tumor ...
متن کاملAssessment of in vitro radiosensitivity parameters of breast cancer cells following exposure to radiotherapy hospital-based facilities
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to assess the radiosensitivity parameters for SK-BR-3 (SKBR3) breast cancer cells that could be implemented in the cutting-edge treatment planning systems (TPS) for accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI). Materials and Methods: The cell survival fraction and its relevant radiosensitivity coefficients, namely α and β, in linear-quadratic (LQ)...
متن کاملAnti-tumor Immune Responses Induced by Radiotherapy: a Review.
An anti-tumor immune response is one of the most important factors that can determine treatment response and prognosis of cancer patients. Recent studies have demonstrated that radiotherapy can activate tumor-specific immune responses and that these responses contribute to the therapeutic efficacy. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the radiation-induced immune responses remain unclear. B...
