Abstract excerpt
Angiogenesis, the formation of new vessels, is essential for tumor growth and metastasis. Mutations of p53 tumor suppressor gene are frequent and play an important role in colorectal oncogenesis. A role of p53 as an angiogenesis inhibitor has also been proposed. We evaluated angiogenesis and p53 expression in 16 hyperplastic polyps, 35 solitary tubular and tubulovillous adenomas, and 47 cases of sporadic...
