Abstract excerpt
We have been studying a rat model of colon cancer in which tumors are induced by direct application of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) to discrete areas of the colonic mucosa for a limited period of time. Activation of the ras genes by point mutation has been observed in many experimental tumors, in...
