Brief Summary

The purpose of the research study is to evaluate an automated, laser-based technique for measuring DNA damage caused by radiation during cancer treatment in immature red blood cells.

Detailed Description

Correlative studies: analysis of RT effect on genotoxicity by assessing cytogenetic changes (dicentrics), micronucleated lymphocytes (MN-lymph), and micronucleated reticulocytes (MN-RET) using periphe...

  • Provision of written informed consent
  • or
  • Or patients receiving IMRT or Tomotherapy, when low-dose radiation is spread out to the normal tissues, irrespective of daily radiation doses.
