The hamartoma-adenoma-carcinoma sequence
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Carcinomas develop, although at low frequency, in hamartomatous polyps in the Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome. With the identification of at least one of the genes involved (LKB1/STK11), attempts can be made to unravel the molecular events responsible for this hamartoma-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Recent data indicate that this sequence is real, that the molecular pathways involved are different from those in other...
