Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Accumulation of the p53 protein can result in G1 arrest that may facilitate DNA repair, or alternatively, it may lead to apoptosis. Mutations that alter p53's ability to mediate these responses are expected to alter cell radiosensitivity to killing. However, the relationship between p53 status and cell radiosensitivity has proven to be complex. Several studies have suggested that p53 mutations are...
