Abstract excerpt
One hundred and forty colonic adenocarcinomas originating on the left side of the colorectum and 70 colorectal carcinomas originating on right side of the colorectum were examined for activating mutations of codons 12 and 13 of the C-KI-RAS proto-oncogene. Rates of mutation were significantly different (right colon 43%, 30/70 versus left colon 23%, 32/140; P = 0.0025). Adenocarcinomas from the left side of the...
