For a prostate cancer patient receiving radiation treatment, shown here as an exemplar, high dose radiation is targeted at the prostate tumour with potential for toxicity to surrounding tissues. Individual cfDNA methylation results feed back on radiation dose and schedule, to maximise tumour response and minimise toxicity to surrounding tissues. RT radiation treatment.
