The p53 gene mutation pattern was used as a diagnostic marker of multiple and second primary lung carcinomas. Nine cases of multiple carcinoma, which were suspected clinicopathologically to be double or triple primary carcinomas, were examined for p53 protein expression by immunohistochemistry and for genetic abnormality of the p53 gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single-strand conformation polymorphism...
