BACKGROUND. Specific mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been reported from several parts of the world, but to the authors' knowledge to date the status of this gene has not been studied in HCC patients in India, where HCC is one of the major cancers and

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
In this study, we analyzed 53 oral squamous-cell carcinomas among Indians for the presence of alterations in the tumorsuppressor gene p53 by PCR-SSCP and sequencing methods. Our results showed that 21% (I 1/53) of oral carcinomas analyzed carried mutations within the exons 5-8 of the p53 gene. We h
## 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.
The prognostic significance and nature of p53 dysfunction in ovarian carcinoma is unclear. The relation between p53 overexpression, p53 mutations, and their effects on overall survival in primary ovarian carcinoma is explored. ## METHODS. Tumor specimens from 171 consecutive epithelial ovarian ca
## 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
