Molecular basis for stool-based DNA tests for colorectal cancer: a primer for clinicians.

Reviews in gastroenterological disorders - 1 Jan 2002

Boland C Richard

Abstract excerpt

Cancers develop as a result of alterations in genes that regulate growth, survival, and other cellular behaviors. Colorectal cancers develop through one of at least three different pathways, termed chromosomal instability, microsatellite instability, and the CpG island methylator phenotype. Although there is some overlap, these pathways tend to inactivate different sets of tumor suppressor genes and tend to have...
