Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The prognostic significance of p53 mutations and overexpression in advanced epithelial ovarian cancers was examined in primary tumors from 125 patients participating in a Gynecologic Oncology Group randomized phase III treatment protocol. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Mutational analysis of p53 was performed in RNA or genomic DNA extracted from frozen tumor. An immunohistochemistry assay was used to detect p53...
