Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The present study aimed to investigate the status of alterations of the MDM2, Rb and p53 genes in a series of 45 liposarcomas. Furthermore, the possible correlation with histological and clinical parameters was studied. METHODS: MDM2 amplification was examined by non-radioactive Southern...
