Abstract excerpt
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a dermal and subcutaneous tumor categorized as a tumor of intermediate malignancy, and its progression in some cases to fibrosarcoma is well known. However, molecular analysis of tumor progression has been limited. The present study investigated microsatellite instability (MSI) of 7 microsatellite markers through high-resolution microsatellite analysis in addition to a...
