Distal colorectal cancers, especially those in the rectum, are more aggressive and more commonly recurrent than proximal cancers. We studied the possible relationship between p53-gene mutation type and location of the tumour, since mutations in the conserved areas of the p53 gene have been suggested

## Background: Neuroblastomas often acquire sustained drug resistance during therapy. sensitivities to carboplatin, etoposide, or melphalan were determined for 18 neuroblastoma cell lines; eight were sensitive and ten were resistant. as p53 mutations are rare in neuroblastomas studied at diagnosis,
Mutations that affect the oligomerization domain (OD) of the p53 tumor suppressor may be of particular interest because of the remarkable contradiction between the conservation of the OD and its relative functional resistance to amino acid substitutions, and because of recent hints that cellular pro
Immunochemical methods were developed for the optimal detection and characterization of total cellular p53 protein expression, both in the nuclearattached and soluble fractions of colorectal cancers, in order to improve the correlation between protein deregulation and gene status. Seventy colorectal
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a cheap and rapid method to detect p53 inactivation but the results are often discordant with gene mutation analysis. This study aimed to investigate whether there is a difference in the immunohistochemical staining patterns of p53-positive cells on comparing tumours wi
