BACKGROUND: In lung adenocarcinoma, inactivation of the tumor suppressor p53 may abrogate a safeguard mechanism preventing the development of tumors with activating mutations in EGFR or KRAS. To assess this hypothesis, we analyzed TP53 mutations and downregulation of p14(arf), a negative regulator of p53 activated by oncogenic signals, in a retrospective series of 96 patients with primary adenocarcinoma of the...
