TP53 and cervical carcinoma: Our data regarding p53 expression is consistent with previous studies such as by Bahnassy et al. (2007) and Skomedal et al. (1999) who found, respectively, 44.2% (19/43) and 55.4% (41/74) of invasive cervical cancer specimens positive for p53 and in both studies, no case was positive in the control specimens [33], [37].
