Abstract excerpt
AIM: To determine the accuracy of p53 gene mutations predicted by overexpression of p53 protein immunohistochemically, and to investigate the co-mutation of p53 and K-ras genes in rectal cancer and its effect on promoting malignant biologic behaviors of tumors. METHODS: Ninety-seven specimens of rectal cancer were surgically resected in our hospital from August 1996 to October 1997. The hot mutation areas of p53...
