| Research Abstract |
We have been doing comparative study on gallbladder cancer from 1992 between Japanese (in Niigata) and Chilean (in Santiago or Temuco).
In the past two-year research, we found a significant difference in p53 immunoreactive protein overexpression between carcinomas from two countries.
In 1994 we put a focus of our research on other gene alterations to know what kinds of gene abnormalities are developing in carcinogenesis of the two different pathways ; de novo carcinoma or adenoma-carcinoma sequence.
It is suggested from our data (Table) that de novo carcinoma of the gallbladder, regardless of intramucosal size and depth of invasion, develops by p53 alteration at 60-70%, and that K-ras mutation does not play an important role in the development of de novo cancer because of as low as 10% incidence, and that apc mutation has no relation to the cancer-development.
On the contrary, carcinoma arising from adenoma and also adenoma did not indicate p53 abnormalities as well as apc and K-ras mutation.
This is the first report to indicate that genetic alteration in gallbladder carcinogenesis is different between de novo carcinoma and carcinoma arising from adenoma.
