Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The p53 tumor suppressor gene plays a central role in cell cycle regulation and induction of apoptosis. We analyzed p53 alterations and their impact on response to chemotherapy and clinical outcome in ovarian cancer patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: One hundred seventy-eight ovarian carcinomas, snap frozen and stored at -80 degrees C, were analyzed for mutations of the p53 gene (exons 2-11) by single-strand...
