Abstract excerpt
Current histopathological evidence suggests that gall-bladder cancer has two main morphological pathways for its development: de novo (ab initio) origin and adenoma-carcinoma sequence. In order to investigate the genetic difference between them, APC mutations were examined by RNase protection analysis, K-ras mutations by nested polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, and p53...
