Abstract excerpt
We have reported the presence of c-K-ras oncogenes activated by single point mutations at codon 12 in a vast majority of human pancreatic carcinomas. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from surgical resections, autopsies and biopsies were used as well as snap frozen surgical specimens. The high oncogene incidence has been confirmed in other studies and indicate that somatic mutational activation of the...
