Objective.This study aims to explore the correlations of genetic polymorphisms inLIG4andHSPB1genes with the radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), especially radiation pneumonitis (RP), in lung cancer patients.Methods.A total of 160 lung cancer patients, who were diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and received radiotherapy, were included in the present study from September 2009 to December 2011. TaqMan Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) was used to verify the SNPs ofLIG4andHSPB1genes. Chi-square criterion was used to compare the differences in demographic characteristics, exposure to risk factors, and SNPs genotypes. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated by logistic regression analysis. All statistical analyses were conducted in SPSS 18.0.Results.A total of 32 (20.0%) lung cancer patients had RP after receiving radiotherapy. Of the 32 cases, 4 cases were of grade 2, 24 cases were of grade 3, and 4 cases were of grade 4. However, our results indicated that the general condition and treatment of all patients had no significant difference with RP risk(P>0.05). Meanwhile, our results revealed that there was no significant association between the frequencies ofLIG4 rs1805388andHSPB1 rs2868371genotype distribution and the risk of RP(P>0.05).Conclusion.In conclusion, we demonstrated that the genetic polymorphisms inLIG4 rs1805388andHSPB1 rs2868371were not obviously correlated with the risk of RP and RILI of lung cancer.

Radiation Induced

In 2018, lung cancer was the most common cancer and the most common cause of cancer death, accounting for a 1.76 million deaths. Radiotherapy (RT) is a widely used and effective non-surgical cancer treatment that induces remission in, and even cures, patients with lung cancer. However, RT faces some restrictions linked to the radioresistance and treatment toxicity, manifesting in radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). About 30–40% of lung cancer patients will develop RILI, which next to the local recurrence and distant metastasis is a substantial challenge to the successful management of lung cancer treatment. These data indicate an urgent need of looking for novel, precise biomarkers of individual response and risk of side effects in the course of RT. The aim of this review was to summarize both preclinical and clinical approaches in RILI monitoring that could be brought into clinical practice. Next to transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) that was reported as one of the most important growth factors expressed in the tissues after ionizing radiation (IR), there is a group of novel, potential biomarkers—microRNAs—that may be used as predictive biomarkers in therapy response and disease prognosis.

Control Study

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate any possible association between ABO blood groups and lung cancer. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 122 lung cancer patients and 1,255 matched-healthy individuals that were reviewed retrospectively. Chi-square and logistic regression models were used for statistical analysis. Results: No significant difference between lung cancer patients and the control group was recorded regarding ABO blood types and the risk of lung cancer (p = 0.055, OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.61–1.03). Male gender (p = 0.006, OR = 2.08, 95% CI 1.24–3.49) and smoking (p = 0.000, OR = 3.13, 95% CI 1.72–5.69) were significantly associated with the risk of lung cancer. Conclusion: No association between ABO blood types and the risk of lung cancer was observed.
