Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The changes of peripheral blood immune cells [6 weeks (prior and post the radiation therapy )]
The flow cytometric analysis of lymphocyte subtypes populations would be performed
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Activation status of T cells [6 weeks (prior and post the radiation therapy )]
Activation status of peripheral IFN-γ-producing effector CD8+ T cells by Elispot.
- The changs of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines [6 weeks (prior and post the radiation therapy )]
Human inflammatory cytokines and chemokines will be analyzed by ELISA during radiation therapy. The cytokines and chemokines are IL-2, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α
