Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In undifferentiated-type gastric carcinoma (UGC), inactivation of TP53 is infrequent at early stages and comparable to tubular adenocarcinomas (TUBs) at advanced stages. To clarify how TP53 inactivation relates to histogenesis of UGCs, we examined p53 alterations in multiple samples of individual UGCs. METHODS: We used 27 UGCs including 12 mixed types with minor tubular component (TC) and 16 with a...
