[The molecular biology and genetics of colorectal carcinoma].

Abstract excerpt

There is vast evidence in support of the idea that accumulated genetic changes (mutations) are the underlying cause of neoplasia development. This multi-step process is aptly illustrated by colorectal carcinoma (CRC), usually developing in the course of decades, and presumably requiring at least seven genetic events to complete its development. In CRC the oncogenes most frequently undergoing mutation are c-k-ras...
