What is a "tumor protein P53 genetic test"?
A tumor protein P53 genetic test (TP53 genetic test) is used to analyze the TP53 gene for changes. This gene is essential for managing cell growth and preventing cancer by repairing damaged DNA or causing cells with irreparable damage to die. Changes in the TP53 gene can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer development. The test helps in diagnosing certain types of cancer, evaluating cancer risk, and making treatment decisions.
