In 53 tumours there was a borderline significant correlation between measurements of tumour radiosensitivity (surviving fraction at 2 gray: SF2) and Ku70 expression (r = 0.26, P = 0.057) and no correlation for Ku80 (r = 0.18, P = 0.19).

This difference was also reflected with Ku80, but did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.087).

The latter suggests that intratumour heterogeneity in Ku expression is not a staining artefact. In a study from which the cohort of patients studied here was taken, tumour SF2 has been shown to be a highly significant prognostic factor for cervical carcinoma undergoing radiotherapy (West et al, 1997, 1998).
