Detection of Point Mutations in the Kirsten-ras Oncogene Provides Evidence for the Multicentricity of Pancreatic Carcinoma
1 Feb 1993
Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that multicentricity of pancreatic carcinomas extending beyond the pancreatic duct occur in 15% to 40% of patients. This has been difficult to confirm, however, with currently available histologic techniques. Mutations in the Kirsten (Ki)-ras oncogene, which can be detected frequently in pancreatic carcinomas using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), may serve as a potential clonal marker of...
