Study of the expression of oncoprotein p53, EGFR in colorectal carcinomas with different proliferative activity by I.S. Shponka, I.K. Kharkhalis, O.V. Poslavska

“…In 2020, in Ukraine, morphological verification of new cases of colon and rectal cancer was carried out at a high level (83.2% and 89.5%, respectively), but despite this, specific treatment covered only 69.4% and 74.5% of eligible patients, that is why about a third of patients (30.8% of colon cancer patients and 25.0% of rectal cancer patients) did not live even a year from the moment of its detection in 2020. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of the expression of p53 and EGFR markers depending on the clinical, morphological characteristics and proliferative activity of colorectal carcinomas. …”
