Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate the efficacy of pyrosequencing (PS) and Sanger sequencing (SS) methods for detecting K-Ras codon 12 and 13 mutations in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) prostate cancer (PCa) samples from Chinese patients. METHODS: The cancer cell lines, including the LS174T G12D mutant (GGT to GAT) and the COLO320 wild-type, were tested to determine the...
