Abstract excerpt
We set out to determine the relative timing of loss of DNA mismatch repair and KRAS2 mutation in endometrial tumorigenesis. We studied endometrial carcinoma (CA) and synchronous atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH), the premalignant precursor of endometrial cancer. Carcinoma and hyperplasia were investigated for loss of mismatch repair as evidenced by microsatellite instability (MSI) and for KRAS2 mutations....
