Abstract excerpt
Genetic pathways of various types of pancreatic carcinoma are described. There are many differences in the genetic pathway between duct carcinogenesis and acinar carcinogensis. K-ras mutation is a key event in the early stage of pancreatic duct carcinogenesis and various gene alterations accumulate from precancerous ductal lesions until the development of carcinomas. Therefore, inhibition of K-ras gene mutation...
