Previous studies of oral cancer have suggested that alterations of the p53 tumour suppressor gene occur early in the precancerous stage of development. However, these observations have been based on cross-sectional assessment of abnormal p53 protein staining by immunohistochemistry and may not neces
In this study, we analyzed 10 human squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) for alterations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene in exons 4 through 9 by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. We found that 2 of 10 SCCs displayed unusual SSCP alleles at exon 7 of the p53 gene. Subsequent clonin
## Esophageal cancer (EC) in the Indian population presents in advanced stages with poor prognosis and warrants the identification of a non-invasive marker for early detection and better prognostic assessment. We have previously reported high prevalence of p53 protein accumulation in esophageal squ
