Abstract excerpt
The molecular pathways and the timing of genetic events during human colorectal carcinogenesis are still not fully understood. We have addressed the intratumor heterogeneity of the mutational status of the k-ras oncogene and of the p53 oncosuppressor gene during the adenoma-carcinoma sequence by investigating 26 human colorectal adenomas containing early cancer. An intratumor comparative analysis was obtained...
