Abstract excerpt
K-ras mutations at codon 12 have been detected in almost all pancreatic adenocarcinomas by highly sensitive assays. We reassessed the K-ras mutation status by direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing from tissue microdissection without DNA extraction in 10 pancreatic adenocarcinomas, and also assessed the K-ras and DPC4 genes in nine pancreatic cancer cell lines. Eight pancreatic adenocarcinomas were...
