## BACKGROUND. It is often difficult to distinguish pancreatic carcinoma preoperatively from chronic pancreatitis. Therefore, we have developed a new method of detecting p53 immunoreactivity in cytologic material obtained by endoscopic retrograde pancreatic duct brushing (ERPDB). ## METHODS. Tw

The p21 protein inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases and mediates cell-cycle arrest and cell differentiation. It is induced by wild-type p53, but not by mutant p53. This study of 75 patients with endometrial carcinoma investigates the relationship between p21 expression and the functional status of p53
Based on a previous finding that amplification of the c-erbB-2 oncogene and alteration of p53 are strongly associated in most aggressive breast tumours, the present study investigated whether microsatellite instability (MI) might also be associated with this tumour phenotype. Nine polymorphic micros
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
## Abstract ## Objectives This study aims at investigating the prognostic values of serum p53 protein and antiβp53 antibody in patients undergoing surgical treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). ## Methods Serum p53 protein and antiβp53 antibody concentrations were determin
