“…Consequently, the absence of a wild type p53 function results in resistance to anticancer agents, such as cisplatin. In gastric cancers, overexpression of p53 is strongly linked to its mutational status, also correlating to resistance to cisplatin [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. In our PDX model, diffuse and homogenous p53 nuclear staining was observed in controls, related to the p53 mutation (exon8:c.844C > T:p.R282W).…”
