Research Abstract

The present study was conducted in order to obtain data that serve as a basis for developing novel molecular markers for prediction of the outcome of radiotherapy in patients with cervical cancer. Subjects were selected from cases that were sensitive or resistant to the concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Comprehensive protein expression profiles of pre-threapy biopsy specimen were compared between the sensitive and resistant cases. Eight proteins were identified that were expressed only in sensitive cases, while 18 proteins were identified that were expressed only in resistant cases.
