## Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is frequent in areas of high exposure to aflatoxin and high prevalence of HBV infection, such as western Africa and southβeast China. A selective mutation in __TP53__ (AGGβAGT at codon 249, ArgβSer) has been identified as a hotspot in HCCs from such areas,
## BACKGROUND. Multifocal occurrence of precancerous and cancerous lesions of the esophagus has been observed among individuals in a high incidence area for esophageal carcinoma in Henan Province, China. Results from recent studies suggest that p53 protein accumulation and mutation occur early in
