Radiation resistance in cervical cancer was found to be associated with an increased expression of ICAM-3. Researchers in South Korea conducted a study "to search for a marker that predicts the efficacy of radiation therapy in human cervical cancer, gene expression profiles between parental SiHa cervical cancer cells and radiation-resistant SiHa/R cells have been compared by the microarray technique.
