An anomalous junction of the pancreaticobiliary duct (AJPBD) was thought to be an important risk factor for gallbladder carcinoma in Japan. In this report, we compared K-rus and p53 mutations in Stage I gallbladder carcinomas (GC) of patients with AJPBD with those in patients without AJPBD. METHODS.
Comparative studies of epidermal growth factor, epidermal growth factor receptor, K-ras, and P53 in gallbladder carcinomas with and without an anomalous junction of pancreticobiliary duct

## Abstract Esophageal carcinomas from 24 patients, most of whom were smokers and consumed alcoholic beverages daily, were analyzed for mutations in exons 5β8 of the __p53__ tumor suppressor gene. Mutations were identified by polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing in 12 of 24
The Ras protein is involved in tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathway steps such as EGFR signalling. Most human pancreatic carcinomas harbor a point mutation of K-ras oncogene and overexpress transforming TGF-a. We studied how K-ras gene mutation could influence the EGFR signal transduction mec
