Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: p53 gene mutations are known to occur in about half of all non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. Mutations of the p53 gene usually but not always lead to an increased half life of the p53 protein, and result in a nuclear accumulation of protein which can be detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Controversy still exists as to whether the presence of an aberration of the p53 gene or protein is a...
