MDM2 amplification was not found among anaplastic and papillary carcinoma of thyroid (zero of 166 and 376, respectively) and uncommonly among adenocarcinoma of the appendix, rectum, and colon (0.23% [one of 440], 0.28% [four of 1,448], and 0.33% [28 of 8,562], respectively; Data Supplement). This evidence concerns the gene MDM2 and adenocarcinoma.
