Abstract excerpt
Altered expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins in GISTs (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) may be the mechanism for their diversity in clinical behavior. The use of these tumorigenetic and cell proliferative proteins may provide an alternative route for follow-up and treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic relevance of the E2F1 and p16 expression in GISTs. Tissues from 21 cases with...
