Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations of the tumor suppressor gene p53 are known to occur in bladder cancer. Although p53 overexpression is associated with mutation of the p53 gene, a substantial discrepancy between molecular genetic alteration in p53 and overexpression of the protein has been found. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Tumor specimens of 39 bladder cancer patients were immunohistochemically analyzed for p53 overexpression,...
