Abstract excerpt
Cancers arise from the sequential acquisition of genetic alterations in specific genes. The high number of mutations in cancer cells led to the hypothesis that an early step in tumor progression is the generation of a genetic instability. The potent role of genetic instability in initiation and progression of colorectal cancers has been well defined in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. HNPCC...
