Radiation for bone metastases: conventional techniques and the role of systemic radiopharmaceuticals.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Wild-type p53 protein activates the WAF1/CIP-1 (p21) gene, leading to G1 arrest after DNA damage. The authors investigated the relation of p21 and p53 expression in pancreatic adenocarcinomas to disease stage, overall patient survival, and survival when chemotherapy or radiation therapy was given. METHODS:P...
