Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the TP53 suppressor gene are frequent in breast cancers. These mutations are associated with poor prognosis, thought to be due to proliferative advantage and poor response to chemotherapy associated with loss of p53 function. The focal adhesion kinase (FAK/PTK2), a tyrosine kinase, is over-expressed in a variety of human tumors including breast cancers. FAK is a critical regulator of adhesion and...
