Is activation of c-MYC and c-MYB proto-oncogenes associated with decreased apoptosis in tumor colon progression?
These results indicate that failure of the normal apoptotic process together with de-regulation of c-myc and c-myb proto-oncogenes might promote the development of colorectal tumors.
The laparoscopic approach is feasible for cholecystectomy after gastrectomy, even in cases with CBD stones or acute cholecystitis. This approach does not appear to increase operation time or complication rate and was shown to decrease the length of postoperative hospital stay.
