The involvement of serum serotonin levels producing radiation-induced bystander effects for an in vivo assay with fractionated high dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy
Abstract
PURPOSE: The primary goal of this investigation was to observe whether measurable levels of bystander factor(s) can be detected in esophageal carcinoma patients' urine samples taken after undergoing high dose rate (HDR) intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT). However, a small pilot study was developed to evaluate whether serotonin [5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] serum levels play an active role in the mechanisms of radiation-induced bystander effects …
