Abstract excerpt
The series of genetic changes leading to malignancy in colorectal cancer is well reported. This includes mutational activation of the proto-oncogene Ki-ras and mutation/deletion of the p53 tumour suppressor gene. The frequency of these mutations was investigated in a panel of 52 colorectal cancer patients using a combination of immunocytochemistry and non-radioactive, digoxigenin-labelled in situ hybridisation....
