Therefore, Fifty colorectal cancer and 14 adenoma patients were involved. The histopathological expression of p53, p21 and Ki-67 proteins was evaluated by immunohistochemistry assay. The results revealed that remarkable overexpression of p53 protein was seen in the tumorous sections of cancer patients more than that in adenoma patients (p}, journal = {American Journal of Immunology}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
