Abstract excerpt
Squamous cell carcinomas in psoralen-plus-ultraviolet A (PUVA) treated patients frequently exhibit p53 tumor suppressor genes and Ha-ras protooncogenes that are mutated at dipyrimidine sites and carry the ultraviolet fingerprint (i.e., C-to-T or CC-to-TT transitions). To further broaden the knowledge of genetic mutations in PUVA-associated skin cancer, we used DNA sequencing analysis to study the mutational...
