Can MDM2 and CDK4 make the diagnosis of well differentiated/dedifferentiated liposarcoma? An immunohistochemical study on 129 soft tissue tumours
27 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Well differentiated liposarcomas (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLPS) have been shown to have supernumerary chromosomes with amplified sequences of the MDM2 and CDK4 genes. MDM2 and CDK4 protein overexpression have also been identified in these tumours. AIM: To investigate whether immunohistochemistry (IHC) for MDM2 and CDK4 can be used to diagnose WDLPS and DDLPS. METHODS: IHC for...
