✦ Synopsis


were used as a control group. p53 overexpression indicating a mutated p53 gene was analyzed by immunohistochemistry using the mouse monoclonal antibody D0-7.

RESULTS.

Approximately 82% of carcinomas that recurred locally expressed p53 compared with only 29% of those with local control (P õ 0.001). No significant relation was noted between p53 expression and histologic grade. Intensity of staining did not predict tumor recurrence.

CONCLUSIONS.

The authors believe that this case-controlled study demonstrated the role of p53 as an independent prognostic factor in patients with early stage glottic carcinoma.

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) has been shown to be the principal cause of humoral hypercalcemia associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recent studies have demonstrated that the amino-terminal region of PTHrP has growth factor-like activities, suggesting it may play a role in the d
