Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the significance of K-ras gene mutations in gastric carcinogenesis, we examined the mutations in gastric cancers and in Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic gastritis(H. pylori-CG).

K-ras gene mutations in H. pylori-CG were significantly more frequent in gastric cancer patients than...
