Description:
Collection of approximately 20 ml of blood will be performed by venipuncture at the specified time points. When possible, blood collection will be coordinated with other routine blood studies. These blood samples will be drawn at the clinical blood drawing station in the Radiation Oncology department.
For fibrosis and left ventricular dysfunction, biomarkers include galectin-3 and NT-Pro brain natriuretic peptide. For myocyte destruction, troponin; for inflammation and oxidative stress, C-reactive protein, myeloperoxidase, and growth differentiation factor. Additional blood will be collected and stored for future assessment of other candidate biomarkers.
