Abstract excerpt
Epithelial ovarian tumours represent a complex group of histological subtypes and there has long been controversy over the question of a precursor lesion for these neoplasms. The application of mutation analysis of the KRAS and BRAF genes (members of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK-MAP kinase pathway) is consistent with the model for progression of mucinous carcinomas and a subset of serous carcinomas (the so-called...
