Dynamic expression of p53, Bax, p21 CIP/WAF-1 and response to therapy in rectal carcinomas. Box plot analysis of staining indices for p53, Bax and p21CIP/WAF-1 (post-therapy staining index (STI) – pre-therapy STI. White bars: Responders (R), grey bars: Non-responders (NonR). RCT: responders n = 14, non-responders = 12, HRCT: responders n = 11, non-responders = 9, Optimal hyperthermia: responders n = 8, non-responders = 3.
