Does reduced expression of p53 and p21WAF1/CIP1 sensitize human breast cancer cells to paclitaxel and its combination with 5-fluorouracil?
These findings suggest that the status of p53 and p21WAF1/CIP1 might play an important role in tumor cell susceptibility to paclitaxel and its combination with other drugs such as 5-FU.
Substantial work-loss was seen in both patients with high and patients with moderate disease activity at anti-TNF start, with a 5-year decline in mean monthly work days lost by ∼40% in both groups and no between-group difference. Accumulated work-loss over 5 years was higher in the high-activity group, which may be explained by differences in baseline disability pension status.
