METHOD FOR PREDICTING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO RADIATION PNEUMONITIS

摘要

Provided is a method for determining whether an individual is likely to be susceptible to radiation pneumonitis from radiation therapy and for developing a treatment based on the determination of susceptibility. The method involves measuring SOD and GPX activity levels. A high SOD or low GPX activity, or a combination thereof, is indicative that the individual is likely to be susceptible to radiation pneumonitis.
