Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Altered expression of cell cycle/apoptosis key regulators may promote tumor progression, reflect secondary genetic/epigenetic events, and impair the effectiveness of therapy. Their expression pattern might then identify gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patient subgroups with different response to imatinib and elucidate novel therapeutic targets. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Immunohistochemical evaluation of...
