The high incidence of the colorectal cancer in the industrialized countries has drawn the interest of the scientific community to detect and investigate its morphologic precursors. Growth factors and oncoproteins could be useful to investigate the morphologic and biologic evolution of precancerous lesions of the large bowel. Therefore the Authors report the results obtained from 30 selected patients with hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps, and different histotypes of colorectal cancer, investigated using the EGF-r and p62 protein expression. The results show the potential usefulness of such markers to evaluate the biology of intestinal tumors. Z9 0

Abstract
The high incidence of the colorectal cancer in the industrialized countries has drawn the interest of the scientific community to detect and investigate its morphologic precursors. Growth factors and oncoproteins could be useful to investigate the morphologic and biologic evolution of precancerous lesions of the large bowel. Therefore the Authors report the results obtained from 30 selected patients with hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps, and different histotypes of colorectal cancer, investigated using the EGF-r and p62 protein expression. The results show the potential usefulness of such markers to evaluate the biology of intestinal tumors.
