Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana M Carballo"
- Ana M Carballo's research primarily focuses on the genetic factors influencing late radiation toxicity in prostate cancer patients, aiming to enhance risk predictions and improve patient outcomes post-treatment.
- Her key findings include the identification of specific genetic variants associated with heightened susceptibility to radiotherapy-induced toxicity, as demonstrated in multiple genome-wide association studies involving thousands of participants.
- Through collaborative efforts with the Radiogenomics Consortium and extensive meta-analyses, Carballo's work contributes significantly to understanding the long-term effects of cancer treatments and highlights the potential for developing predictive tests for radiotherapy toxicity.
