Abstract excerpt
We investigated the microsatellite alterations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and in TP53 in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (TESCC). Using laser microdissection, 66 paired non-cancerous esophageal muscles, non-cancerous esophageal mucosa, cancerous TESCC nests plus 35 metastatic lymph nodes harvested from 66 resected esophagi of TESCC patients were subjected to DNA extraction. D310 and D17S960 were...
