Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability (MI) and K-ras oncogene mutation have been widely used as biomarkers of genetic changes in colorectal cancer (CRC). Each of these biomarkers was independently found in normal-appearing colonic mucosa at stages preceding the development of CRC, albeit at a relatively low incidence. To assess the potential value of combined MI and K-ras mutation analysis in the detection of...
