1995 Deichmann Lecture--p53 tumor suppressor gene: at the crossroads of molecular carcinogenesis, molecular epidemiology and cancer risk assessment.

Abstract excerpt

Carcinogenesis is a multistage process involving activation of protooncogenes, e.g., ras, and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, e.g., p53 and p16INK4.p53 is a prototype tumor suppressor gene that is well suited for analysis of mutational spectrum in human cancers; it is the most common genetic lesion in human cancers, it is a reasonable size for a molecular target, and it may indicate selection of mutations...
