Recent studies have shown that anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union (APBD) is an important risk factor for the development of gallbladder carcinoma. Epithelial hyperplasia of the gallbladder is one of the characteristic changes, but it is not clear whether epithelial hyperplasia is a premaligna
K-ras mutation appears in about 60% of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This freqLency and its presence in normal appearing tissues point to the potential of ras oncogene mutation to serve as a good biomarker. Using enriched PCR (EPCR), which enables the detection of one mutant alle
As part of our ongoing studies to characterize molecular alterations in a well-defined series of surgically resected esophageal cancers, we examined the expression of 2 rasregulated genes, whose products (osteopontin and cathepsin L) previously were shown to be associated with tumor invasion and met
