Background Mutations of the p53 gene are associated with a poor prognosis in several types of cancer. We investigated the prognostic importance of p53 mutations in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma.Methods We examined the relation between the presence or absence of a detectable p53 mutation in lymphoma cells and the response to chemotherapy and overall survival in 102 previously untreated patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma. Mutations of the p53 gene were identified by polymerase-chain-reaction-mediated analysis of single-strand conformation polymorphisms and by direct sequencing.Results Of 102 cases of aggressive B-cell lymphoma, 22 (22 percent) involved p53 mutations. The rate of complete remission was significantly lower in patients with a tumor carrying a p53 mutation (6 of 22 patients, 27 percent) than in those with the wild-type p53 gene (61 of 80 patients, 76 percent) (P
