Use of Immunohistochemical p53 Mutant-Phenotype in Diagnosis of High-Grade Dysplasia of Esophageal Squamous Epithelia.

Background: Mild cellular atypia of esophageal squamous epithelial dysplasia has a risk of progressing to cancer that poses great confusion for pathological diagnosis. There is no research on the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of esophageal squamous dysplasia by the expression of immunohistochemical (IHC) p53. The study aims to conduct a graded diagnosis of esophageal squamous epithelial hyperplasia by combining p53 expressions and microscopic histomorphological characteristics.
