TP53 modulates radiotherapy fraction size sensitivity in normal and malignant cells

Abstract Recent clinical trials in breast and prostate cancer have established that fewer, larger daily doses (fractions) of radiotherapy are safe and effective, but these do not represent personalised dosing on a patient-by-patient basis. Understanding cell and molecular mechanisms determining frac...
