Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Endometrial glandular dysplasia (EmGD) has been recently proposed to be a putative precursor to endometrial serous carcinoma (ESC). The purpose of this study is to determine if EmGD is genetically linked to ESC and if it can be used for early detection. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The tumor suppressor p53 gene was sequenced from serial samples of benign and neoplastic endometria with serous differentiation. The...
