OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate frequency of PTEN mutation, LOH and expression in ovarian tumors. In search for a molecular pathway, we confronted PTEN gene mutations with TP53, K-RAS and BRCA1 gene status in the same tumors. We also evaluated clinical significance of PTEN expression in a subgroup of patients uniformly treated with platinum-based regimens. METHODS: Molecular analysis was performed on 105 ovarian...
