Abstract

The correlations of the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern of L‐myc with the progressive state of cancer and metastases to lymph nodes or other organs were examined in 35 cases of human colorectal cancer by χ2 analysis. No significant correlation was found.

Keywords: L‐myc, Restriction fragment length polymorphism, Colorectal cancer
