Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 gene are one of the most common genetic changes found in cancer; their presence may be prognostic and even influence treatment for breast cancer. In this study, we investigated whether DNA could be extracted from the residual cells left in ThinPrep-processed breast fine-needle aspirates and whether p53 gene changes could be detected in the DNA. The results were then correlated with DNA...
