Abstract excerpt
An immunohistochemical study of 155 squamous cell carcinomas of the oesophagus, squamous epithelium adjacent to the tumour (n = 80), dysplastic epithelium (n = 16) and controls (n = 23) indicates that Ki67 and p53 expression is frequently present in premalignant oesophageal lesions and their related squamous cell carcinomas. Positive expression of both antibodies in apparently normal epithelium can signify early...
