RNA and Heat Shock Protein Biomarkers in Radiation-induced Fibrosis in Breast Cancer
France20 participantsStarted 2017-05-10
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to seeking a molecular signature of pathological radiation induced fibrosis based on the response of skin fibroblasts after irradiation, comparing two groups of patients distinguished by their individual radiosensitivity. The signature will integrate recent insights in terms of alternative splicing of mRNAs and level of expression of non-coding RNAs, particularly long non-coding RNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs and microRNAs. In each group each expression patterns of candidate HSP proteins potentially predictive of pathological radiation induced fibrosis (HSP27, HSP70, αβ crystalline) in the serum and on cell culture will be characterized.

Then stratification into two groups :
group 1 : radio-sensitive patients
* Post-operative radiotherapy completed at least 6 months ago AND
* radiation induced dermal and/or soft tissue toxicity (dermatitis, fibrosis, atrophy) rated \> 2 (CTCAE v4.0 scale)
group 2 : radio-tolerant (control) patients
* Post-operative radiotherapy completed more than 4 years ago AND
* radiation induced dermal and/or soft tissue toxicity (dermatitis, fibrosis, atrophy) rated ≤1 (CTCAE v4.0 scale) .
Exclusion Criteria:
* age \<18 or \> 70 years old
* evolutive cancer / metastatic disease
* chest size \> 110 cm et bra size ≥ D
