Abstract excerpt
In both the primary tumor and associated lymph-node metastases of 40 cases of Dukes' C colorectal adenocarcinomas, exons 5 to 9 of the p53 tumor-suppressor gene were examined by PCR amplification and single-strand-conformation-polymorphism(SSCP) analysis. Mobility shifts indicating p53 mutations, which were confirmed by direct sequencing, were identified in 14 primary cancers (35%) and in 19 of the 40 lymph-node...
