Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency and predictive value of p53 mutations in localized prostate cancer, comparing the accuracy of detection using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with a modified yeast assay, on archival tissue samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prostate cancer tissue was obtained from 98 patients who had >/= 2 years of clinical follow-up after radical prostatectomy. DNA sequencing was used to verify the...
