TP53 and cancer: The basic biological characteristic underlying the intrinsic curability of such cancers is that, in a significant fraction of cases, they retain a functional p53-mediated response to nucleolar stress arising from ribosomal biogenesis inhibition; on the other hand, as a matter of fact, the presence of genomic alterations of the TP53 gene is an established negative prognostic predictor in lymphoma, acute and chronic leukemias treated with chemotherapy regimens [14–17].
