Background: The aberrant expression of both the retinoblastoma and p53 tumor suppressor genes has been associated with more aggressive tumors, metastasis and lower survival.Methods: We have evaluated immunohistochemically the expression of pRB in a panel of non-melanoma skin cancers containing p53 somatic mutations.Results: Nuclear anti-p53 staining was detected in 18 (72%) differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, six (100%) undifferentiated squamous cell carcinomas and seven (28%) basal cell carcinomas. A correlation was observed between p53 expression and the proliferative activity of differentiated squamous cell carcinomas ( P
