Abstract excerpt
Morphologically, colorectal adenomas can be divided into two groups, protruded-type and flat-type. However, the accurate frequencies of genetic and epigenetic alterations in flat-type colorectal advanced adenomas (laterally spreading tumors) have remained largely unknown. In the current study, we investigated genetic and epigenetic alterations in 101 flat-type colorectal advanced adenomas and 68 protruded-type...
