APE1 and XRCC1 Protein Expression Levels Predict Cancer-Specific Survival Following Radical Radiotherapy in Bladder Cancer
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Radiotherapy offers the potential of bladder preservation in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, but only a proportion of tumors respond, and there are no accurate predictive methods. The ability of tumor cells to repair DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation influences radiosensitivity. We therefore investigated the prognostic value of the DNA repair proteins APE1 and XRCC1 in patients with...
