Abstract excerpt
Among genetic alterations, the activation of proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumour suppressor genes in affected cells are considered to be the core molecular events that provide a selective growth advantage and clonal expansion during the multistep process of carcinogenesis. The TP53 tumour suppressor gene is mutated in about half of all human cancer cases. The p53 protein modulates multiple cellular...
