Molecular pathogenesis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Pancreatic carcinoma etiology and molecular pathogenesis is weakly understood. According to the assumption that genetic variation in carcinogen metabolism further modifies the risk of exposure-related cancers, an association of functional polymorphisms in oxidative stress-modifying genes superoxide dismutase...
