INTRODUCTION. The Tp53 gene provides instructions to produce tumor protein 53 Tp53 is a tumor suppressor gene that protects the cell cycle, repairing DNA or activating apoptosis. It is key in the carcinogenesis of basal cell carcinoma, a pathology that is relevant in Ecuador, due to its latitude and altitude, factors that determine greater damage by exposure to ultraviolet radiation and therefore for basal cell carcinoma. Studies suggest that the immunoexpression of tumor protein 53 could be a predictor
of recurrence in this neoplasm. OBJECTIVE. To determine whether the degree of expression of mutated species of tumor protein 53 in patients with basal cell carcinoma is a variable related to recurrence and aggressiveness in the different histologic subtypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Bibliographic review study of different scientific articles published in indexed journals and databases during the last ten years: El-
Sevier, Medigraphic, PubMed, Redalyc, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. RESULTS. A total of 104 results were obtained from which 50 scientific articles were selected, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, original articles and case reports in Spanish and English. CONCLUSIONS. Tp53 is mutated in more than 50% of basal cell carcinomas and plays a key
role in their carcinogenesis. Aberrant immunoexpression of tumor protein 53 is a risk marker for recurrence and aggressiveness in basal cell carcinoma, as indicated by the reviewed articles. However, local studies are required to establish the true value of tumor protein 53 as a marker of recurrence and/or aggressiveness in the Ecuadorian population.
