Abstract excerpt
We investigated the association of p53 abnormalities (gene mutations by DNA sequencing and protein over-expression by immunostaining) with clinical data and prognosis in 74 patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). DNA analysis of exons 5-8 of the p53 gene showed 34 mutations in 74 resected primary NSCLC (45.9%). Immunohistochemical study of the p53 protein revealed that 41 of 74 (55.4%) samples...
