Does endometriosis really have premalignant potential? A clonal analysis of laser‐microdissected tissue

19 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

Since 1925, epidemiological and histological evidence for an association between endometriosis and ovarian neoplasia has accumulated. Recently, publications assaying the clonality of a given cell population have implied endometriosis has premalignant properties. However, the human androgen receptor used as a marker in these studies is of highly questionable reliability due to the instability of its methylation...
