p53 and treatment of bladder cancer

Article Abstract:

Adjuvant chemotherapy which includes DNA-damaging agents has lowered by threefold the recurrence risks of patients with p53-altered tumors. It also raised their chances of survival by 2.6-fold. On the other hand, adjuvant chemotherapy did not provide any recurrence or survival benefit to patients with tumors that did not show p53 alterations. This implies that only patients having p53-altered tumors benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.

Epigenetics in human disease and prospects for epigenetic therapy

Article Abstract:
