## Abstract Material from paraffin sections of 109 human colorectal carcinomas, mostly obtained at autopsy, was analyzed for the presence of Kβ__ras__ point mutations at codon 12, position 2. Mutations at this position were found in 23 cases (21.1%). Aneuploid colorectal carcinomas showed a signifi

## BACKGROUND. Angiogenesis is reportedly correlated with metastasis, relapse, and prognosis in some types of tumors. Hematogenous or lymph node metastasis and local recurrence are the main elements related to the death of patients with colorectal carcinoma. Thus, the authors examined the microves
## Abstract Fortyβtwo endometrial carcinomas of various stages of progression were analyzed to search for loss of chromosomal regions and for point mutations of __ras__ genes and amplification of Intβ2 gene. This approach is particularly favorable for observation of genetic events and their signifi
