Ras gene mutations occur relatively early during colorectal tumor development and have been observed in 40-509'0 of malignant colorectal tumors. Advances in endoscopic techniques have made it possible to detect small, flat colorectal tumors that could not be detected by standard examinations. To det
Genetic instability related to defective DNA mismatch repair genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of carcinoma in Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HN-PCC). To test that the targets of genetic instability could include critical transforming genes involved in colon tumor progression, w
## Abstract The precursors for colorectal cancer include polypoid (conventional), flat and serrated adenomas. Polypoid growth in polypoid adenomas and serrated adenomas is associated with Kβ__ras__ mutations. The regulation of polypoid or nonpolypoid growth is not well known, but could be related t
