Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene are common events in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN). However, reported frequencies range considerably, and the predictive value of aberrant p53 is continuing to be an issue of controversy. These inconsistencies are possibly caused by methodical limitations. METHODS: In cell lines established from 23 SCCHN, we performed sequence...
