Abstract excerpt
Activated ras oncogenes in experimentally induced rodent tumours have been demonstrated to show specific patterns of oncogene activation which depend on the inducing agent, with H-ras activation in nitrosomethylurea (NMU) induced tumours, and K-ras activation in tumours induced by ionising radiation. We report a study of 12 radiation-associated human thyroid tumours, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
