    Abstract

    Studies on the genetic basis of normal tissue radiosensitivity, or  'radiogenomics', aims at predicting clinical radiosensitivity and optimize treatment from individual genetic profiles. Several studies have now reported links between variations in certain genes related to the biological response to radiation injury and risk of normal tissue morbidity in cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. However, after these initial association studies including few genes, we are still far from being able to predict clinical radiosensitivity on an individual level. Recent data from our own studies on risk of subcutaneous fibrosis in breast cancer patients will be presented and discussed in relation to possible future studies in radiogenomics. One important and necessary basis for future studies is the collection of carefully designed clinical studies with the accrual of very large numbers of patients (the ESTRO GENEPI project)
