Detection of p53 and K-ras gene mutation in portal venous blood of gastric carcinoma patients / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relations between p53 and K-ras gene mutation in portal venous blood of gastric carcinoma patients and cancer metastasis. Methods p53 and K-ras gene mutation was detected with PCR-SSCP technology in 62 cases of gastric carcinoma. Results p53 and K-ras mutation rate were 39% and 34% in portal venous blood, but only 8% and 4. 8% in peripheral blood; The rate of gene mutation in p53 and K-ras were 24% and 22% in patient without liver metastasis, 92% and 77% in patient with liver metastasis; The rate of gene mutation in p53 and K-ras in portal venous were 39% and 34% before surgical exploration, but 56% and 63% after exploration. The rate of positive detection of the mutation was significantly (P
