Abstract excerpt
Mutations in TP53 underlie the development of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) in animal models, but there is controversy regarding the extent of TP53 mutations in human MPNSTs. We assessed the TP53 mutation frequency in 145 consecutive cases from our department over 36 years; 88 cases were histologically confirmed as MPNSTs, and corresponding clinical data were reviewed. Mutation analysis of...
