    Abstract: A method for estimating a toxicity level of radiation therapy on a patient comprises characterizing radiosensitivity of a cell sample from the patient to ionizing radiation to determine a first radiosensitivity factor by biochemical analysis. The first radiosensitivity factor is determined by biochemical analysis of a sample collected from the patient under examination in a basal state, to quantify a marker or a combination of markers. Dosimetric data is analyzed using data originating from treatment planning to determine a second treatment factor. The level of toxicity is determined by a combination of the first radiosensitivity factor and the second treatment factor. The method may be used to assess the risk factors of a radiation therapy treatment on a patient suffering from, for example, cancer to determine whether the patient will be able to tolerate further radiation without there being a major, or even lethal, toxicological risk.
