Transgenic mice deficient for the p53 gene were reported to frequently develop angiosarcoma (AS), suggesting that alterations in the gene are associated with tumorigenesis of AS. However, little is known about genetic changes, including p53 gene alterations, in human AS because of its rarity. We ana
## Background: Mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene play an integral role in sporadic colorectal carcinogenesis but prior studies have failed to show their prognostic significance consistently. ## Methods: Fifty-six consecutive sporadic colorectal tumors were analyzed for their p53 status.
