Cytoplasmic Accumulation of p53 Protein: an Independent Prognostic Indicator in Colorectal Adenocarcinomas
4 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrations of the p53 gene (also known as TP53) frequently lead to the synthesis of mutant proteins that accumulate in the nuclei and/or cytoplasm of neoplastic cells. Intracellular p53 protein accumulation may be an unfavorable prognostic parameter in breast, lung, ovarian, gastric, and colorectal cancers. Specific classes of p53 gene mutations, assayed by characteristic subcellular p53 protein...
