We observed a clustering of cholangiocarcinoma in a part of West Virginia. We analyzed the frequency and type of alterations in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene and the K-ras oncogene to determine whether cholangiocarcinomas from this high-incidence area differ from other cholangiocarcinomas at the molecular level. We studied 12 carcinomas of patients from the high-incidence area (West Virginia group), and 15...
