Abstract excerpt
AIM: We initiated this study in order to analyze whether the expression level of targeted receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) is associated with the K-ras mutation status. METHODS: The expression pattern of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, PDGFRalpha, PDGFRbeta, and EGFR1 was analyzed in 93 samples of human colorectal carcinoma samples and correlated with the K-ras mutation status as identified by PCR-RFLP. RESULTS: VEGFR1,...
