Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), as its name implies, is associated with few adenomas, and the early evolution of colorectal neoplasia is poorly understood. In this study our aim was to clarify the genetic profiles of benign polyps in subjects with HNPCC using a combined molecular and immunohistochemical approach. METHODS: Thirty adenomas and 17 hyperplastic polyps were...
