Conducting radiogenomic research--do not forget careful consideration of the clinical data

Radiother Oncol. 2012 Dec;105(3):337-40. doi: 10.1016/j.radonc.2012.11.004.

Abstract

The field of radiogenomics has evolved substantially over the last few years. Cooperative research groups have been established and high throughput genotyping has become increasingly feasible and affordable. Nevertheless, a number of clinical and dosimetric issues need to be carefully considered in order to fully exploit these new possibilities.
