Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether TP53 mutation status (MS) can predict response of breast cancer to paclitaxel followed by 5-FU/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (P-FEC). TP53 gene expression signature (GES) was also examined for its predictive capability of response to P-FEC since TP53 GES provides a more accurate measure of the functional configuration of TP53. METHODS: Tumor samples were...
