Abstract P3-12-18: Radiation-induced CD8 T-lymphocyte apoptosis as a predictor of late toxicity after radiotherapy: Results of the prospective multicenter French trial

Purpose/Objective(s): We and others showed in retrospective and monocentric studies that radiation-induced CD8-lymphocyte apoptosis (RILA) can significantly predict differences in late toxicity between individuals and can be used as a rapid screening for potential hyper-reactive patients to radiation therapy (RT). We present here the clinical results of the prospective multicenter French trial (NCT00893035) evaluating the predictive role of RILA...
