Abstract excerpt
Malignant transformation and tumor progression are currently thought to be the result of the accumulation of genetic alterations in critical genes, the proto-oncogenes and the tumor suppressor genes. Among the tumor suppressor genes, the p53 tumor suppressor gene mutations are the most prevalent. In order to determine genetic instability and p53 expression, we analyzed the genetic changes of chromosome 9 and 17...
