Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between human esophageal cancer and dietary/nutritional risk factors in developing countries. We examined the expression of p53 protein in 51 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) and paired normal esophageal tissues by immun...
