A potential role of heat shock proteins and nicotinamide N‐methyl transferase in predicting response to radiation in bladder cancer

Abstract excerpt

The use of definitive radiotherapy for treatment of invasive bladder cancer has the advantage of preserving bladder function, but tumour regression is only achieved in approximately 40-50% of patients. Knowledge of the molecular basis of sensitivity to ionizing radiation and identification of potential molecular predictors will provide useful information regarding patient response and thus help clinicians to...
