p53 immunoreactivity and mutation of the p53 gene in smooth muscle tumours of the uterine corpus.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation and overexpression of p53 have been described in uterine malignant mixed Müllerian tumours and in endometrial adenocarcinoma, where it has been associated with a poor prognosis. This study examines p53 expression and mutation of the p53 gene in benign and malignant smooth muscle tumours of the uterine corpus. p53 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue...
