Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in Ki-ras codon 12 and the p53 gene are common abnormalities in colorectal cancer. The occurrence of p53 overexpression and/or Ki-ras codon 12 mutations were analyzed in 100 colorectal adenomas to determine if they were related to patient survival. METHODS: p53 overexpression was identified by immunohistochemistry, and Ki-ras codon 12 mutations were detected using the polymerase chain...
