Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes is now believed to play an important role in various progression stages of human cancers. To clarify the possible involvement of tumor suppressor gene inactivation in the acquisition of metastatic potential in lung and colorectal carcinoma cells, we examined various genetic alterations in both primary tumors and metastases obtained from patients with lung and colorectal...
