Abstract excerpt
There are many observation of genetic alterations in pancreatic carcinoma. Mutation of codon 12 of K-ras gene relating to cell growth signaling was reported as high as 90%, and p16/CDKN2 gene regulating cell cycle are frequently altered by point mutation, homozygous deletion, or methylation in pancreatic carcinoma.
