Mutations of the p53 tumor-suppressor gene universally occur on exons 5-8 in human cancer. We analyzed these mutations in esophageal cancer tissue from 207 patients in China using 2 methods, single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP), one of the most frequently used methods, and the recently developed denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), and compared their sensitivity and efficiency....
