Human papillomavirus (HPV), in particular types 16 and 18, is positively associated with anogenital cancers and may be an important etiologic factor in their pathogenesis. The goal of our study was to investigate the role of HPV infection in the pathogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ES

The human p53 gene, a putative tumor suppressor gene, has a polymorphism in amino acid residue 72. We recently developed a method of detecting codon 72 polymorphism in this gene by digestion of polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA using an allele-specific restriction endonuclease. This polymorphi
## BACKGROUND. The majority of colorectal carcinomas, if not all, arise from a benign adenoma. The DNA of the carcinomatous cells frequently has mutations in several genes. However, it is not exactly clear when during the neoplastic process each mutation develops. An adenoma with an area of in sit
## Background: An accumulation of mutations can result in carcinogenesis. comparing genetic alterations in preneoplastic lesions with those seen in cancer in the same patient may be helpful in the early diagnosis of lung carcinoma or preneoplastic lesions. ## Methods: To identify genetic alterati
The MAGE, BAGE, and GAGE gene families code for distinct, tumor specific antigens that are recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the context of HLA molecules. The purpose of this study was to analyze MAGE, BAGE, and GAGE gene expression in the two major histologic types of esophageal carcinoma, s
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
