## Abstract Inactivating mutations in __APC__ are thought to be early, initiating events in colorectal carcinogenesis. To gain insight into the relationship between diet and inactivating __APC__ mutations, we evaluated associations between dietary factors and the occurrence of these mutations in a

The majority of colorectal cancers develop from adenomatous polyps under the influence of factors that are still poorly understood. Tumourigenesis is generally considered a multistep process in which multiple genetic alterations occur, eventually reflected in abnormalities of the cellular DNA conten
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
## Abstract Kβ__ras__ mutationβpositive (Kβ__ras__^+^) and βnegative (Kβ__ras__^β^) colorectal adenomas may differ clinically and pathologically. As environmental compounds may cause mutations in the growthβrelated Kβ__ras__ oncogene or affect clonal selection depending on mutational status, we eva
Activating mutations in the Ki-ras2 oncogene are frequently observed in sporadic colorectal adenomas and their incidence is reported to rise in large and tubulovillous adenomas to values close to those in carcinomas. This study shows that this property is a feature of adenomas growing in large bowel
