Development of clinical biomarkers of DNA double strand breaks for cancer care

Abstract:

Many anticancer therapies, including radiotherapy, act by damaging the deoxyribosenucleic acid (DNA) that is fundamental to cell function and proliferation. H2AX is a histone protein associated with DNA that is phosphorylated to produce γH2AX in response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), the most lethal lesions caused in cancer cells. This thesis examines the translation of γH2AX detection assays to clinical situations in order to provide biomarkers of response that might help to guide t...
