Expression of p21(Wafl/Cip1), p57(Kip2) and HER2/neu in patients with gallbladder cancer.

Abstract

In the subgroup of patients with a mutated p53 gene or in p27(Kip1)-positive patients, absence of p21(Wafl/Cip1) expression may be associated with longer survival of GC patients. Therefore, further analyses of this protein in larger patient populations are warranted.
