Mutations in codon I 2 of K-ras occur in a high proportion of pancreatic cancer cases. Although there is evidence that p53 mutations also occur in this tumor, few studies have been reported to date and no comparison has been made of K-ras and p53 mutations in the same tissues.

In contrast to the origins of colorectal carcinomas, the mechanisms of carcinogenesis in the small intestine remain unclear. We therefore analyzed the mutational status of the Ki-ras, p53, and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) genes in primary carcinomas of the small intestine and compared the mutati
## Abstract Gene mutations in __APC__, __Kβras__, and __p53__ are thought to be essential events for colorectal cancer development. Recent data seem to indicate that __Kβras__ and __p53__ mutations rarely coβexist in the same tumor, indicating that these alterations do not represent a synergistic e
## Abstract In addition to the loss of function, mutant p53 can possess a dominantβnegative effect on wildβtype p53 and may also exert gainβofβfunction activity. It is not clear whether the functional status of __p53__ mutation contributes to differences in outcome in endometrial cancer. We collect
