Effects of Adjuvant Radiotherapy on Bone-marrow Derived and Immune Cells in Breast Cancer Patients
In Brief
An observational study evaluating blood samples collection for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Radiation applied to the preserved breast during radiotherapy treatment activates numerous molecular cascades in tumor bed adjacent cells causing an inflammatory state. During this process, pre-clinical studies demonstrated CD11b + and CD11b+cKit+cells mobilization in the blood. These cells are involved in numerous processes during tumor progression/control and metastases development. The expected results in clinical setting allow us to investigate the development of innovative therapeutic and monitoring strategies. The clinical repercussions would consist in identifying new predictive and prognostic targets in breast cancer.
