Abstract excerpt
We studied K-ras and p53 gene mutations in a panel of 57 primary pancreatic cancers including ductal and nonductal tumors. DNAs were obtained from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material. Target sequences were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and sequencing. Both K-ras and p53 genes were frequently mutated in ductal cancers (25 of 35, 71.4%; 18 of...
