Transgenic mice deficient for the p53 gene were reported to frequently develop angiosarcoma (AS), suggesting that alterations in the gene are associated with tumorigenesis of AS. However, little is known about genetic changes, including p53 gene alterations, in human AS because of its rarity. We ana

The prognostic significance and nature of p53 dysfunction in ovarian carcinoma is unclear. The relation between p53 overexpression, p53 mutations, and their effects on overall survival in primary ovarian carcinoma is explored. ## METHODS. Tumor specimens from 171 consecutive epithelial ovarian ca
To identify whether alterations of the p16 tumor suppressor gene are a common event in localized prostate cancer, we examined the frequency of p16 gene mutations in 30 primary tumors. Only two tumors demonstrated altered single-strand conformation polymorphism patterns for exon 2 of p16. In both cas
