Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The authors sought to elucidate the histogenesis of pancreatic ductal carcinoma by correlating K-ras mutation with mucus type in normal epithelium, mucous cell hyperplasia (MCH), and carcinoma. METHODS: Seventy-four solid-type carcinomas (SCs), 23 ductectatic-type carcinomas (DCs), and specimens of 24 normal pancreata were studied. By histochemical staining, normal duct epithelia, areas of MCH, and...
