title: Mutant p53 product in patients with stage III cervical cancer.
abstract: Mutations in the p53 gene stimulate cell division. In our study we assessed the prognostic value of mutant p53 overexpression in cervical cancer stage FIGO III detected by immunohistochemistry. In 43 tissue specimens were detected p53 overexpression in 20 cases. Mean survival time was 36.4 (SE +/- 7.66) months in the p53 protein positive group. The group without p53 overexpression showed a mean survival time of 28.6 (SE +/- 3.85) months. p53 protein overexpression had no prognostic value in patients with stage III cervical cancer.
