These results suggest that the BGP foci may play a very important role in the 'de novo' colorectal carcinogenesis from the frequent genetic alterations of p53, and that there may be two major pathways, i.e., the p53-APC pathway and the p53 alone pathway, from the chain of genetic alterations between BGP foci and 'de novo' carcinoma.
