1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: C-Myc, a well-known oncogene located on 8q24.12-q24.23, is often amplified and over-expressed in both primary and metastasizing colorectal cancer. In addition, PRL-3 (also known as PTP4A3), a tyrosine phosphatase located on 8q24.3, is amplified in colorectal cancer metastasis. Beside PRL-3 and c-myc, other oncogenes located on the 8q23-24 region might be involved in this process. Therefore, the...
