Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Genetic alterations of p53, K-ras and DCC genes have a pivotal role in the colorectal cancer progression. The aim of this study was to clarify the association between K-ras mutations, p53 aberrations and DCC loss of heterozygosity (LOH), with the patient outcome and tumor characteristics in 43 stage I-II colorectal cancer patients. METHODS: Mutations in exons 5-8 of the p53 gene and codon 12...
