Abstract excerpt
Aberrations of the p53 gene in 43 primary hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) were examined by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction products. Of these hepatocellular carcinomas, 22 were advanced HCCs, and 21 were early HCCs. Structural abnormalities of the p53 gene were observed in eight of the 22 advanced HCCs, but in none of the early HCCs. Of the eight tumors with an...
