Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate whether cells from hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients, a genetic condition characterized by constitutional mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes and associated with predisposition to colorectal carcinoma (CRC), could present a higher G2 chromosomal radiosensitivity. It is generally hypothesized that cancer predisposition in HNPCC is associated with the loss of the...
