Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate the significance of p53 deletion, 42 specimens of transitional cell carcinoma were analyzed by interphase cytogenetics with a fluorescence in situ hybridization technique and compared with clinicopathological and cytochemical parameters. In total, 27 (64%) and 16 (38%) specimens demonstrated p53 deletion and overexpression, respectively. The p53 deletion was significantly correlated with...
