Analysis of K-ras codon 12 point mutations using duodenal lavage fluid for diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Tumor necrosis is often found in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Objective histological assessment and adequate radiological detection of necrosis could be used as biomarkers for therapeutic decision. However, standardized clinical utility of necrosis remains unknown. Here, we aimed to determine the...
