Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 gene play an important role in the development of common human malignancies. We investigated mutations of this gene in 26 surgical specimens of esophageal cancer using the polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis. The results were correlated with histological findings, DNA ploidy and the short-term relapse of the disease. PCR-SSCP analysis detected...
