Previous study has suggested a link between diabetes and colorectal cancer (CRC), but the specific molecule for the link has not been well-understood. Abnormal p53 immunohistochemical (IHC) pattern is an accurate predictor for TP53 gene mutation. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and p53 IHC patterns in CRC.
Methods
We analyzed p53 protein expression of 742 cases of CRC with radical colectomy by immunohistochemistry. The patients were g… Show more
