Abstract excerpt
We performed a mutational analysis of the p53 gene in matched samples of solid tumors and ascites from patients with ovarian cancer using the single-strand conformation polymorphism technique on exons 5-9 of the p53 gene on fresh and cultured material. We observed a discordance in the pattern of p53 mutations between the ascites and their solid tumor counterpart. In two cases, cancer cells from ascites carried a...
