The article you sent got me Googling ... another recent interesting P53 read

"Injecting activator of a powerful tumor suppressor directly into the cancer increases tumor destruction, decreases toxicity"
Nutlin-3a, which Cui used in the studies in models of lymphoma and melanoma, works to activate more of the normal p53 by suppressing a natural p53 inhibitor that is overexpressed in many tumors.
But early experience in clinical trials have been disappointing, Cui said. Also, given systemically, as many cancer therapies currently are, it can have toxic results like suppressing the bone marrow so patients can become anemic or worse as well as killing potentially helpful immune cells. "There is no selection," Cui said, of impacted cells.
With the study, the scientists instead injected nutlin-3a directly into the tumor. They watched as p53 was activated and immune cells began moving into the area. They also watched the immune cells, now educated on what to attack, move out of the primary tumor site to other areas in the body where tumor cells had traveled. Tumor spread, or metastasis, is a primary reason cancer is lethal.
[...]
Next steps include adding to their mix drugs that can restore normal p53 in tumors with already altered versions, a move they hope will further broaden the future therapeutic potential of their approach.
