Clinical implications of p53 mutation analysis in bladder cancer tissue and urine sediment by functional assay in yeast.

Abstract excerpt

In the present study we correlate the p53 gene mutations in tumour tissue with urine sediment using a functional assay in yeast, and relate the p53 status to the outcome in a group of patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The p53 mutations were found in three of 30 (10%) Ta/T1 tumour tissue samples and in two of 20 (10%) corresponding urine sediments. In the stage T2-T4 tumour p53 mutations...
