Abstract excerpt
In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, p53 gene mutations have been analyzed for inter- or intra-patient heterogeneity but only a few studies have investigated intratumoral heterogeneity. We investigated this question within individual esophageal cancers, and also in their lymph-node metastases in 8 cases. Analyzing the p53 gene sequence by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products, we found...
