p53-mutant clones and field effects in Barrett's esophagus.

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have demonstrated multifocal neoplasia in Barrett's esophagus. We evaluated 213 mapped, flow-purified, endoscopic biopsies to determine the distribution of p53-mutant clones in the Barrett's segments of 58 patients who had high-grade dysplasia without cancer. Twenty-nine patients (50%) had p53 mutations in their Barrett's segments, including 3 patients with multiple distinct p53 mutations....
