Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that breast cancer patients could have a predisposing defect in the induction of TP53 tumor suppressor protein (known as p53) that could be a marker of genetic instability and increased cancer susceptibility. The accumulation of p53 was triggered by ionizing radiation, and its transcriptional activity was estimated from the induction of CDKN1A (known as p21). METHODS AND MATERIALS:...
