NOTE: Genes whose translation was affected by radiation in each tumor type as defined by SAM (<1% FDR) were subjected to IPA, the top five networks with their top three associated function categories are shown. Score refers to statistical significance (negative logarithm of the P value); focus molecules refers to the number of genes (out of a possible 35) in each network.
