Abstract excerpt
Barrett's esophagus (BE) goes through a sequence of low grade dysplasia (LGD) and high grade dysplasia (HGD) to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). The current gold standard for BE outcome prediction, histopathological staging, can be unreliable. TP53 abnormalities may serve as prognostic biomarkers. TP53 protein accumulation detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) indirectly assesses TP53 mutations. DNA fluorescent...
