Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many genes (mdr1, mrp, DNA topoisomerases II) are known to be involved in the resistance to unrelated drugs (the MDR phenomenon), but the mechanisms of their activation have to be further investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Because several authors showed that p53 mutated gene was able to induce mdr1 overexpression, we evaluated in 51 non small cell lung cancer samples, already tested for p53...
