Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We aimed to determine the clinical role of the p53 family members p53 and p73 in the responsiveness to platinum-based chemotherapy and survival in ovarian cancer, considering their cross-talk and the p53 polymorphism at codon 72. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A detailed analysis of p53 and p73 in a series of 122 ovarian cancers was done. We used a functional yeast-based assay to determine the p53 mutational...
