Aim 1: Insight into Biologic Mechanisms
●
Specific Aim 1: To determine the early changes in multiple
biomarkers in patients undergoing RT, and how these
changes differ in proton versus photon therapy.
Hypothesis: Early increases in circulating biomarkers will
differ according to RT; photon therapy will result in a more
adverse biomarker profile.
