Abstract:The TP53 gene encodes a nuclear protein implicated in the regulation of the cell cycle, DNA repair, and apoptosis. TP53 mutations and other alterations have been described in numerous types of tumors, and some of these have been associated with poor prognosis. Some reports in the literature have indicated a relationship between TP53 status and prognosis especially in non-small-cell lung cancer, breast cancer and NHL.In order to characterize these molecular abnormalities and their clinical significance in progn… Show more
