Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene play an important role in the development of common human malignancies. Previous reports revealed that the frequencies of p53 alternations in esophageal carcinoma varied from 26% to 87%. The clinical significance of p53 alternations is still disputed. In the present study, we used polymerase chain reaction--"cold" single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-"cold"...
