Overexpression of p53 in different subtypes of intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer

The differential p53 overexpression in different subtypes of intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer suggests that type III intestinal metaplasia is the commonest lesion in dysplasia-carcinoma transition, particularly in the intestinal type of gastric cancer.
