Abstract excerpt
Alterations of the APC, K-ras, and beta-catenin genes are defined as early events in colorectal tumorigenesis. These alterations are well-known as constitutents of Vogelstein's pathway, however, the relationship among them is unclear. For understanding colorectal tumorigenesis it is important to evaluate their relationship. We analyzed the relationship between beta-catenin and K-ras gene mutations in clinical...
