Abstract excerpt
We previously proposed a dualistic model for ovarian serous carcinogenesis. One pathway involves the stepwise development of invasive micropapillary serous carcinoma (MPSC) from serous borderline tumor (atypical proliferative serous tumor) to noninvasive and then invasive MPSC. The carcinomas that develop in this fashion are characterized by low-grade nuclei and frequent K-ras mutations. They generally pursue an...
