Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous molecular genetics studies of colorectal cancer have identified multiple mutations in the c-K-ras gene (also known as KRAS2) in all phases of its development. Because of technical difficulty, prior studies rarely focused attention on the detailed distribution of c-K-ras mutat...
