Abstract excerpt
The intent of this study was to investigate the ability of p53 expression and single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis (SSCP) to predict p53 mutational status in archival, paraffin-embedded tissues of gastric cancer. We evaluated paraffin-embedded tissues from 78 patients with advanced gastric cancer. The mutational status of the p53 gene (exons 5-9) was examined by SSCP analysis and by direct...
