The mutational status of p53 protein in gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines predicts sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents
20 Feb 1995
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to chemotherapy remains a serious problem in the successful treatment of gastric and esophageal cancers. DNA-damaging agents alter levels of p53 protein in several cell types and it has been speculated that regulation of p53 can be involved in the resistance or sensitivity of cancer cells to some chemotherapeutic drugs, depending on whether cells have mutant or wild-type p53; however, little is known...
