Pancreatic cancer: the potential clinical relevance of alterations in growth factors and their receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Molecular alterations play a key role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal cancers. In the present paper we describe relevant molecular alterations in human pancreatic adenocarcinomas. Overexpression of growth factor receptors (EGF receptor, c-erbB2, c-erbB3, TGF beta receptor I-III), growth factors (EGF, TGF alpha, TGF beta-1-3, aFGF, bFGF), adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, ELAM-1) and gene mutations (p53, K-ras,...
