Radiosensitivity of Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines Expressing the Breast Tumor Kinase (Brk)

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The breast tumor kinase (Brk) is over-expressed in 80% of all breast cancers and we sought to determine the influence of this oncogene on radiation sensitivity in breast cancer cell lines. Since radiotherapy is a routinely used method of treatment for early and intermediate stage breast cancer, the alteration of clinical radiosensitivity in breast cancer by an oncogene over-expression would have important implicat...
