The aim of this study was to assess whether the TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additionally, in NSCLC patients, we investigated a potential association between this polymorphism and somatic TP53 gene mutations in tumour cells. The study group included 240 NSCLC patients who underwent curative pulmonary resection. The control group (576...
