P53 OVEREXPRESSION AND OUTCOME OF RADIOTHERAPY IN HEAD & NECK CANCERS

  • Published : 1999.06.01

Abstract

Experimental studies have implicated the wild type p53 in cellular response to radiation. Whether altered p53 function can lead to changes in clinical radiocurability remains an area of ongoing study. This study was performed to investigate whether any correlation between change of p53 and outcome of curative radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancers.(omitted)
