Abstract excerpt
In vitro and animal studies, the effect of loss of p53 function on radiosensitivity is controversial. p21Waf1/Cip1 is a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and p21 gene polymorphisms are associated with some human cancers. We sought to determine whether p53 mutations or p21 polymorphisms affect response to radiotherapy in patients with recurrent non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Thirty-four patients...
