## BACKGROUND. It has been observed that patients who have previously undergone radiotherapy have a lower rate of response to chemotherapy. ## METHODS. The authors investigated the effects of radiation on the expression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a multidrug-resistance gene product, in 56 patient
P-Glycoprotein (PGP), a product of the multidrug resistance gene (mdr), acts as an adenosine triphosphate-dependent drug efflux system in cells. Initially, PGP was found in cancer cells, but it is now known that PGP is richly distributed in the adult brain. Passage to the central nervous system is l
