In addition, Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that irradiated mut-p53 NSCLC patients (n = 10) showed a poor prognosis compared with an irradiated wt-p53 group (n = 2), although there was no statistical significance, mainly due to the restricted amount of irradiated wt-p53 samples (Fig. 1e). This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
