Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mortality of patients with colorectal carcinoma depends mainly upon subsequent liver metastasis even after curative operation. However, it is very difficult to predict the incidence of liver metastasis by analyzing conventional tumor markers or pathologic findings. In the current study, the authors examined the genetic alterations of p53/DCC loci and Ki-ras in colorectal carcinoma in relation to...
