## Abstract Despite the considerable progress in understanding the molecular pathology of carcinogenesis, the genetic mechanisms underlying the development and progression of gallbladder cancer (GC) are poorly understood. The survival of GC patients is generally poor. Therefore, it is very useful t

## Dear Sir, The RAS proteins participate in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK-MAPKinase pathway, which mediates cellular responses to growth signals. 1 There are 3 RAF genes, each encoding cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinases that are regulated by binding to RAS. 1,2 We have recently reported that BRAF is soma
## Background: The past decade has witnessed a growing frequency of therapy-related secondary tumors. the authors studied nine children with secondary malignancies. the primary tumors were bilateral retinoblastoma, neuroblastoma, brain tumor, wilms' tumor, colon adenocarcinoma, and hodgkin's diseas
Aberrant 5Ј CpG island methylation is an alternative mechanism of gene inactivation during the development of cancer as demonstrated for several tumor-suppressor genes. Also, marked relationship of microsatellite instability (MSI) and DNA methylation has been reported in sporadic colorectal cancer,
Fifty-two sporadic primary non-small-cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) were examined for microsatellite instability. Six different microsatellite markers localized on chromosomes 2, 5, 8, 10, 11 and 17 were used. Genomic instability was observed in 35% (18/52) of NSCLC at single or multiple loci. The tum
