Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA) gene has been well documented as an alternative oncogenic mechanism in a subset of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) lacking c-kit mutations. However, the role of PDGFRA immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of GISTs has not been well studied. We investigated PDGFRA immunoreactivity in GISTs and in other intra-abdominal mesenchymal...
