Abstract excerpt
Gastric cancer is common among the world, but genetic mechanisms of gastric carcinogenesis are not well understood. Gastric polypoid adenomas and flat dysplasias are regarded as precursor lesions. However, a detailed molecular study of these lesions has not been done to determine their role as precancerous lesions. We investigated mutations of the APC, beta-catenin, and K-ras genes, and microsatellite instability...
