Abstract excerpt
Codon 12 of the K-ras oncogene was screened for mutations in 65 surgically-resected primary pulmonary adenocarcinomas and in 32 tissue foci of alveolar atypical hyperplasia (AAH) by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method. Mutations in either position 1 or position 2 of codon 12 were detected in 16 tumours (25 per cent). When analysed by site of origin, mutations were seen in 9/26 (35 per cent) parenchymal...
