Diagrammatic representation of study protocol. Rabbits were injected with VX2 cells into the buccal mucosa and tumor growth confirmed on CT on day 5 following injection. Two cycles of 20Gy over 5 fractions of photon radiation was administered daily with a 2 day treatment break in between each cycle for rabbits undergoing ctDNA evaluation while a single cycle of 20Gy over 5 fractions was administered to the rabbits undergoing CTC evaluation. Serology was obtained at specified time points. All rabbits were sacrificed for formal histology correlation
