Abstract excerpt
Molecular genetic alterations that disturb cell cycle regulation in tumor cells can affect their response to chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. Many genes that regulate the critical cell cycle checkpoint at G1S are altered in human tumors. These genetic changes can result in uncontrolled cellular proliferation, genetic instability, and altered response to radiation and chemotherapy. The p53 tumor suppressor...
