Summary/Abstract: This paper, as a part of a basic review, focuses on biomarkers that are associated with individual radiosensitivity of patients. This topic is nowadays directly connected with the research in oncology, especially in the radiation oncology, where more individualized and more effective form of therapy is requested for a long time.The biomarkers together with other innovative methods could be helpful. This brief review includes several basic categories of biomarkers and their detection methods that could be used in the field of conventional radiotherapy in the near future. These biomarkers are mainly associated with cellular processes that take place before and after the patient´s body is irradiated. Research in this area is still progressing and therefore we expect promising application of these biomarkers in a clinical practice.
