Abstract excerpt
To investigate numerical aberrations of chromosome 17 and the p53 locus in early stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 12 fresh-frozen specimens of small HCCs (less than 30 mm in size) were examined by dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization. We used a chromosome 17 alpha-satellite DNA probe and a p53 locus-specific DNA probe. We also performed immunohistochemical analysis for p53 protein in the same...
