Rather than promoting genetic chaos, loss of p53 leads to an orderly progression of genetic changes that no one saw coming.

… Wednesday, August 17, 2022 More than half of all cancers have mutations in a gene called p53 . The protein made from this gene is what’s called a tumor suppressor: When working properly, it guards against cancer development — in part, by detecting damaged DNA and alerting cells to repair it. Cells without

Recent advances in technology allow Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center pathologists to perform swift and accurate molecular analyses of tumor cells in patients with colorectal cancer. By determining the gene mutations of individual tumors, doctors are able to prescribe treatments that are most likely to be effective for patients, while avoiding drugs that will provide no benefit and may cause serious side effects.
