Abstract excerpt
In this study, to better understand the mechanism of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) carcinogenesis, alterations of the p53 gene and overexpression of MDM2 and p53 were analyzed in 38 oral SCC samples. Twelve of the 38 specimens revealed mutant-type p53. Moreover, coexpression of MDM2 and p53 was found most frequently in dysplastic lesions (P < 0.05). Expression of MDM2 and p53 was significantly increased in...
