p53 protein accumulation in colorectal cancer tissue has prognostic value only in left-sided colon tumours.

Unlabelled: The aim of this paper is to describe the prospective 10-year follow-up study of prognostic value of p53 protein accumulation in cancer cells in relation to the localisation of tumour in colorectum.

Results: p53 protein accumulation was detected more often in rectum than in colon tumours.
