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

Oral squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common neoplasm in Sri Lanka, accounting for approximately 30% of all cancers in males. Epidemiologic evidence indicates that there is an unequivocal relationship between betel chewing and oral carcinogenesis, suggesting that there may be specific genet
Mutations in the p53 gene have been reported in head and neck carcinomas. We determined the p53 mutation profile in 55 oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) from a black African population sample. DNA from all the patients were investigated using PCR amplification of the p53 gene (exons 5-9), follow
