Tumorigenesis is thought to be a multistep process in which genetic alterations accumulate to bring about the neoplastic phenotype. Colorectal tumors appear to arise as a result of the mutational activation of oncogenes coupled with the inactivation of several tumor suppressor genes. We have found f

Carcinomas develop, although at low frequency, in hamartomatous polyps in the Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome. With the identification of at least one of the genes involved (LKB1/STK11), attempts can be made to unravel the molecular events responsible for this hamartoma-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Recent da
To determine the genetic changes associated with the development of carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma (Ca Ex-PA), we analyzed 15 microsatellite loci at chromosome arms 8q, 12q, and 17p on DNA from 26 neoplasms (including 8 microdissected benign and malignant components), and 13 pleomorphic adenomas f
Cytogenetic analysis of short-term cultures from colorectal adenomas revealed acquired clonal chromosome aberrations in I 4 of 17 tumors. In 4 adenomas, only numerical changes were found, whereas 10 had structural rearrangements. Trisomy 7 was found as the sole change in one of the tumors and togeth
