Polymorphism of The Regulatory Region of the <i>ITGAM</i> Gene (-323G>A) as a Novel Predictor of a Poor Nutritional Status in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Subjected to Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

Polymorphism of The Regulatory Region of the <i>ITGAM</i> Gene (-323G>A) as a Novel Predictor of a Poor Nutritional Status in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Subjected to Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

Background: The most serious disturbance of the nutritional status is neoplastic cachexia. The main factor contributing to the development of cachexia is the ongoing inflammatory process. The gene associated with the development of the inflammatory response is <i>ITGAM</i>. Therefore, th...
