Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Although several gene abnormalities have been reported in endometrial carcinoma, the genetic alterations have not fully been elucidated. Recent studies have revealed frequent activating mutations of the gene for BRAF, an effector of Ras protein in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, in several malignancies. However, the prevalence and significance of BRAF mutations in endometrial carcinoma...
