The prognostic value of <i>c‐Kit</i>, <i>K‐ras</i> codon 12, and <i>p53</i> codon 72 mutations in Egyptian patients with stage II colorectal cancer

Abstract

The current results provide evidence for the prognostic value of c-Kit overexpression in patients with stage II CRC. The high p53 mutation rate and the unique hotspot in codon 72 have not been reported previously in CRC. This may be related to environmental or racial features that are unique to the studied population.
