Analysis of Gene Amplification in Human Esophageal Cancer

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Diseases of the Esophagus

Abstract

The “multistep” of genetic alterations is necessary for cancer formation [1], but there are few reports dealing with both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in human esophageal cancer. To investigate the correlation between oncogenes and esophageal cancer, we examined gene amplification of the int-2 and erbB genes, and the p53 and DCC tumor suppressor genes by Southern blot analysis.
