New marker predicts benefit of radiotherapy for early-stage breast cancer
New marker predicts benefit of radiotherapy for early-stage breast cancer
A study involving researchers at OnkPat and Gothenburg University has found that low levels of a protein called PDGFRb are associated with particularly good results of radiotherapy in women with early-stage breast cancer. The study, which is published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, also suggests that the efficacy of radiotherapy can be improved with drugs that block this protein.
New top publication from OnkPat
Karin Lindberg is the first author on an article published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology entitled The HILUS-trial – a prospective Nordic multi-center phase II study of ultra-central lung tumors treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy.
