The molecular genetics of colorectal carcinoma are among the best understood of any common human cancer. Reported molecular genetic abnormalities involve tumor-suppressor genes that undergo inactivation (e.g., apc, mcc, dcc, p53, and possibly genes on chromosomes 8p, 1p, and 22q) and dominant-act...
