TP53 mutations are observed in about 40-70% of lung cancer tissues, and the hot spot codon mutations are in exons 5 through 8. Previous studies revealed that the distinct TP53 mutational pattern between population groups may be due to different racial or exogenous factors. This research aims to iden...
