To evaluate the role of chromosome 13 deletions in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) progression and to define the precise localization of putative tumor suppressor genes, we studied tumors from 34 unrelated patients with oral SCC by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-loss of heterozygosity (LOH)

Allelic losses of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs), or the chromosomal regions harboring them, in tumor DNA may become useful postoperative prognostic indicators. To examine whether specific allelic losses might correlate with postoperative survival in a 5-year prospective follow-up, we tested tumors f
TP53 abnormalities have been reported as an early event in the process of cellular transformation of human breast cancers, and involved in mammary-tumor evolution, from in situ to invasive disease. In this study, node-negative (N-) tumors were examined for TP53 allelic loss in relation to different
