Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in the KRAS and P53 genes belong to the most frequently observed genetic alterations in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency and prognostic impact of KRAS mutations. In addition, we attempted to define molecular subgroups with distinct biologic behavior by combination of KRAS sequencing data with p53 protein expression data. METHODS: KRAS...
