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
