Patterns of p53 mutations separate ovarian serous borderline tumors and low- and high-grade carcinomas and provide support for a new model of ovarian carcinogenesis: a mutational analysis with immunohistochemical correlation.

Abstract excerpt

The infrequent association of serous borderline tumors (SBTs) with invasive serous carcinoma has led to the view that SBTs are unrelated to invasive serous carcinoma. Nonetheless, mortality associated with SBTs is generally attributed to malignant transformation, and traditionally these tumors have been designated as "carcinomas of low malignant potential." Previous immunohistochemical studies evaluating p53...
