Abstract excerpt
A biomarker of skin cancer would be beneficial in evaluating the efficacy of potential cancer chemoprevention agents. To this end, we investigated the tumor suppressor gene p53 in precancerous actinic keratosis lesions (AK) and malignant squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) using polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (PCR-SSCP) techniques. In addition, p53 protein expression...
