Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: KRAS, CDKN2A, TP53, and SMAD4 have been recognized as major driver genes in pancreatic carcinogenesis. We examined somatic mutations in 50 cancer-related genes, including the four above-mentioned driver genes, to identify genomic biomarkers for predicting the outcome of patients with pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from fresh-frozen specimens obtained from 100 patients with...
