Around 50% of head and neck cancers are known to have aberrations of the p53 gene. Overexpression of the mutant p53 protein can induce a specific humoral response in cancer patients. Matched saliva, serum, and tissue samples from 26 patients with histologically confirmed oral squamous and verrucous

## BACKGROUND. It has been suggested that the p53 tumor suppressor gene regulates the radiosensitivity in human malignancies after irradiation; however, in cervical carcinoma, the role of the p53 gene is still unclear because of inactivation of functional p53 by infection with human papillomavirus
Recent results suggest that p53 inactivation is required for cervical-carcinoma development. The mdm-2 oncogene, which forms an auto-regulatory feedback loop with the normal p53 protein, has been found amplified in human carcinomas, thus abolishing the anti-proliferative function of p53. To investig
The tissues from 70 Chinese patients with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma were prospectively collected to study for the pattern of p53 mutations and its relationship with clinico-pathological features and prognosis using immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformationa
In the present study, the expression of cyclin D1, as detected by immunohistochemistry, was compared with other prognostic variables and its prognostic impact was evaluated in a group of 172 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the esophagus who underwent potentially curative resection the
