Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene have been found to be the most frequent genetic alterations in human malignancies. To further examine the idea that neoplastic progression is associated with mutations in the p53 gene, we analyzed matched primary and metastatic tumor samples. The samples included 15 pairs of breast cancer and metastases to lymph nodes, four pairs of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and...
