In the overall survival analysis TP53 mutations were of borderline significance (P = 0.051), whereas p53 pro- tein accumulation not turned out to be of independent prog- nostic relevance (P = 0.200).
In the overall survival analysis TP53 mutations were of borderline significance (P = 0.051), whereas p53 pro- tein accumulation not turned out to be of independent prog- nostic relevance (P = 0.200).
Ten of these samples were scored as positive and nine as negative on both frozen and paraffin embedded tissue, whereas three samples gave positive staining only on paraffin embedded tissue. The association between TP53 mutation and p53 protein accumulation was highly significant.
