Comparative analysis of mutations in the p53 and K-ras genes in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in codon 12 of K-ras occur in a high proportion of pancreatic cancer cases. Although there is evidence that p53 mutations also occur in this tumor, few studies have been reported to date and no comparison has been made of K-ras and p53 mutations in the same tissues.
