Abstract excerpt
Genomic DNA was extracted from archival pathology specimens comprising 10 squamous and 14 adenocarcinomas, including 7 with Barrett's epithelium adjacent to tumor, and corresponding normal esophagus from the resection margin. The polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify selected exons of p53...
