Abstract:
In a retrospective analysis of 91 consecutive oral carcinomas we reviewed all patient records and weighed clinicopathological parameters against the results of image DNA cytometry and p53 immunhistochemical staining of the initial diagnostic biopsies. Eighty-seven percent of the biopsies were either aneuploid or nondiploid and there was a significant correlation between poorly differentiated tumours and aneuploidy. Sixty-nine percent of the tumours were p53 positive. DNA aberration or p53 positivity had no significant impact on prediction of survival or susceptibility to radiotherapy. In a multivariate analysis, T category had the greatest predictive value concerning survival. There was no correlation between p53 positivity and smoking.

Abnormal Proliferation
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
