Abstract excerpt
A real-time PCR technique with automated computerized analysis (TaqMan ) was tested to detect K-ras mutations in 66 patients suffering from NSCLC. This technology is characterized by high reproducibility of data and a time-saving analysis procedure. In 11% (7/66) of the tumour specimens and 2% (1/58) of adjacent tumour-free lung specimens a K-ras codon 12 mutation was detected. In adenocarcinomas containing > or...
