Metastasis, radioresistance and adverse reactions are the most crucial issues for radiotherapy to overcome. Identification of molecular markers that predict prognosis and/or risk for normal tissues within the irradiated field may help to improve currently available therapies as well as to develop novel therapies. \nWe have identified several molecular markers for predicting prognosis by using clinical materials, such as biopsies, from patients before/after radiotherapy, including carbon ion radiotherapy. However, it is not possible to obtain biopsies from inaccessible tumors such as those that are targets for carbon ion radiotherapy. To resolve these issues, we have taken blood samples in addition to clinical samples before/after radiation to find novel molecular markers. \nIn this symposium, I would like to present our research project to identify molecular markers for carbon ion radiotherapy by using the next-generation sequencer at Research Institute for Radiation Biology and Medicine, Hiroshima University., 3rd International symposium Biological Effects of Low Dose Radiation}, title = {Next-Generation Sequencing for Identification of Molecular markers in Prognosis of Carbon ion therapy.}, year = {2013} }
