Prognostic and Predictive Value of TP53 Mutations in Human Cancer

  • Chapter
25 Years of p53 Research

Finding reliable molecular markers for early diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of response to treatment is a major challenge for cancer management. A marker of prognosis provides information on the risk of relapse and death independently of treatment, whereas a predicitve marker provides information on the potential benefit of a specific treatment (Lonning, 2003). An early diagnostic marker helps to identify lesions at high risk of malignant transformation. Clinical stage, tumor size and morphological grade are the most reliable factors of prognosis. Among numerous molecular markers that have been tested most recently, only a few are used in clinical practice. In breast cancer for example, estrogen and progesterone receptors are used routinely as predictive markers for tumor response to anti-hormone therapy. However, about 30 % of patients with positive receptor status (expected to benefit from anti-hormone treatment) will face a therapeutic failure, showing the limitations of these markers.
