Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene is one of the most frequent genetic alterations observed in human esophageal carcinomas. In patients with esophageal carcinoma, one of the significant pathological features of the tumor is the presence of multiple lesions within the esophagus. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the occurrence of multiple lesions have remained elusive. To characterize p53...
