Hematological toxicity in patients with solid malignant tumors treated with radiation – Temporal analysis, dose response and impact on survival

Purpose To describe the kinetics of the peripheral blood components after radiotherapy, to examine radiation exposure vs. End-of-Radiation-Therapy (EoRT) counts and to associate the EoRT lymphocyte count with death and cancer treatment failure. Materials and methods Cohort study of patients who received curative intent radiotherapy for solid tumor diagnoses from 2009-2016 at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen and had available 3D radiation exposure...
