TP53 and cancer: Cancer-prone Tp53+/C273X knockout rats received mediastinal irradiation with 3 × 5 or 3 × 8 Gy using volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT, an advanced IMRT) or conventional anterior-posterior/posterior-anterior (AP/PA) beams using non-irradiated rats as controls (n = 15/group, ntotal = 90).
