Abstract excerpt
The genetic bases underlying esophageal tumorigenesis are poorly understood. Our previous studies have shown that coordinated deletion of the Smad4 and PTEN genes results in accelerated hair loss and skin tumor formation in mice. Herein, we exemplify that the concomitant inactivation of Smad4 and PTEN accelerates spontaneous forestomach carcinogenesis at complete penetrance during the first 2 months of age. All...
