## Abstract ## Background Mutations of the tumor suppressor gene p53 are commonly found in several kinds of human cancer. In some types of neoplasms, accumulation of p53 protein has been reported to correlate with more aggressive clinical behavior. The role of p53 expression in Wilms tumors (WT) i

The purpose of the present study was to examine the expression of p53 protein in malignant melanomas of the nodular sub-type, with special reference to the role of p53 alterations in the development of metastases. Increased expression of p53 protein was found in 29 of 30 cases using PAbl801 monoclon
The role of p16 and p53 alterations in cutaneous melanoma has been recently discussed, but it remains to be clarified. In the present immunohistochemical study, the expression of p16 and p53 proteins and their possible prognostic relevance have been examined in 102 melanomas of the aggressive nodula
Malignant uveal melanoma is the commonest primary intraocular tumour in adults. It metastasizes frequently and 50% of patients die within 10 years of diagnosis. The expression of cyclin D1, p53, and MDM2 in uveal melanoma and their relationship to metastasis-free 5-year survival was determined, in o
