The development of biological markers of response to chemo-and radiotherapy to judge bene®t to risk ratios for toxic treatments is still at an experimental stage. Tumour cell death is largely by apoptosis and the p53 gene has a major in¯uence on this. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) accumulation has been corr

Background. The results of a preliminary study designed to evaluate swallowing function in patients 1 year after successful treatment of head and neck carcinomas with radiotherapy are reported. Methods. Movement of the velum, hyoid, larynx, tongue base, and posterior pharyngeal wall were objectivel
p27 Kip1 , a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, is a negative regulator of the cell cycle, and apoptosis is a genetically encoded program of cell death. To clarify the relationship between the cell cycle and apoptosis, we investigated expression of p27, cyclin D1 and apoptosis-related proteins (p53,
Background. This study was conducted to evaluate quality of life (QOL) and functional outcome in patients with carcinomas of the larynx and hypopharynx treated with accelerated radiotherapy (RT). Methods. Between January 1991 and September 1996, 21 patients treated with accelerated concomitant boos
