Abstract excerpt
The P53 tumor-suppressor gene is an advantageous tool for analyzing the molecular epidemiology of cancer. We describe the utility of the P53 gene as a 'mutagen test' and a prognostic indicator in breast cancer. Aspects of study design and methodology are discussed. Two major conclusions emerge: (1) there is an extraordinary diversity of mutational patterns among cohorts, hinting that the unique biology of mammary...
