Abstract excerpt
Preinvasive lesions of squamous cell carcinoma are well defined morphologically and provide a model for multistage carcinogenesis. Since alterations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene occur frequently in invasive esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, we examined a set of preinvasive lesions to investigate the timing of p53 mutation. Surgically resected tissues from nine patients with esophageal squamous cell...
