Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Increasing grade of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) has been associated with progression to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the mechanisms that control progression from PanINs to PDAC are not well understood. We investigated the genetic alterations involved in this process. METHODS: Genomic DNA samples from laser-capture microdissected PDACs and adjacent PanIN2...
