Abstract excerpt
Intestinal-type sinonasal adenocarcinoma represents 8% to 25% of all malignant sinonasal cancer and is etiologically related to occupational exposure to wood dust. Despite its clear etiology, the mechanisms behind the carcinogenic effects of wood dust are unclear. Because it is known that carcinogens can leave specific mutational fingerprints, we aimed to analyze the spectrum of TP53 mutations and to relate the...
