Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic carcinomas have a high incidence of Ki-ras mutations, and the genetic change is thought to occur at an early stage in the carcinogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of detecting genetic mutations in pure pancreatic juice (PPJ). DNA was extracted from tissue sp...
