Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to establish the pattern of specific p53 gene mutations in prostate cancer within primary tumors and distant metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism and sequencing analyses of p53 exons 5-8 in DNA extracted from 22 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 17 patients. Samples from three patients...
