Abstract excerpt
Colorectal carcinogenesis is a complex multistage process and occurs through the accumulation of gene mutations in both oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes. Frequent genetic abnormalities include mutation of the familial adenomatous polyposis (APC) and/or the mutated in colorectal cancer (MCC) genes on chromosome 5q21, activation of K-ras and loss of the tumour suppressor genes p53 and DCC (deleted in...
