Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We aimed to study the prevalence and prognostic influence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its downstream effectors in synovial sarcoma (SS). OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: The tissue blocks from 30 patients were obtained. Expression of EGFR and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were examined by immunohistochemistry, and mutation status of v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene...
