Predictors of radiation-induced complications in radiation oncology based on cell survival tests after ex vivo exposure: literature review

Background. Among cancer patients receiving radiotherapy about 5–15 % may have adverse reactions in normal tissues and organs that limit their treatment in a full, originally scheduled regimen. The development of biomarkers and assays for radiation oncology allowing the prediction of patients’ normal tissue toxicity requires a lot of resourses, threfore its current status amd potential directions for future research have to be periodically...
