Provided is a method for measuring the radiosensivity of cells, which method comprises testing a sample comprising cells or an extract therefrom for: (a) the level of expression of p21, or for the abundance of p21 protein; and (b) the level of expression of Raf-1, or for the abundance of Raf-1 protein. The invention also provides a kit for measuring the radiosensitivity of cells, which kit comprises: (i) a means for testing for the level of expression of Raf-1 or for the abundance of Raf-1 protein; and (ii) a means for testing for the level of expression of p21 or for the abundance of p21 protein. |
