Abstract excerpt
Metastatic progression in ductal breast carcinomas are related to apoptosis in primary tumors. Frameshift mutations in a single-repeat sequence within the coding region (G)8 of the pro-apoptotic Bax gene have been related to microsatellite instability (MSI) and progression of some carcinomas and lymphomas. The aim of this study was to explore whether the extended lifespan of breast cancer cells can also be...
