## Background: Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (pxa) is an astrocytic tumor occurring primarily in childhood and adolescence with some malignant histologic features but a relatively slow clinical course. however, some tumors progress more rapidly and can undergo malignant degeneration. the authors at

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21/WAF1 is regulated by p53-dependent and p53-independent pathways. In addition, p21/WAF1 binds with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and inhibits the action of PCNA. To investigate the possible role of p21/WAF1 in human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs
