K-ras gene mutations in normal colorectal tissues from K-ras mutation-positive colorectal cancer patients.
K-ras gene mutations have been reported as early events in colorectal tumorigenesis, but their role in tumor initiation and development is still unclear. To analyze and compare K-ras mutational patterns between colorectal tissues at different stages of tumor progression in individual patients, 65 colorectal tissue samples, including carcinoma, adenoma, histologically normal mucosa, submucosal m...
متن کاملcodon 12 k-ras mutation detection in iranian patients with colorectal cancer using pcr-rflp method
colorectal cancer (crc) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. understanding of the tumor behavior, in a much closer look, at the molecular level, results in a more effective treatment and accurate prognosis of the disease. from among various genes altered in colorectal cancer k-ras is assumed to be of diagnostic and prognostic significance. k-ras mutations are believed to be a critical e...
متن کاملK-ras Mutation in Colorectal Cancer, A Report from Southern Iran
There are very few studies about K-ras mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) from developing countries such as Iran. It is therefore essential to conduct studies to learn about the molecular signature of such tumors, allowing the determination of an appropriate management plan. In the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency and types of K-ras mutations among patients with CRC in Iran....
متن کاملSensitive detection of K-ras mutations augments diagnosis of colorectal cancer metastases in the liver.
Postoperative survival of colorectal cancer patients is often delineated by metastases spreading to the liver. Current clinical diagnostic procedures are unable to discover micrometastases in this organ. Our aim was to develop a diagnostic tool for detecting micrometastases that are present at the time of surgery. Therefore, a PCR-RFLP assay was set up tracking point mutations of the K-ras onco...
متن کاملSpectrum of K ras mutations in Pakistani colorectal cancer patients
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing daily worldwide. Although different aspects of CRC have been studied in other parts of the world, relatively little or almost no information is available in Pakistan about different aspects of this disease at the molecular level. The present study was aimed at determining the frequency and prevalence of K ras gene mutations in Pakistani CRC...
