Abstract excerpt
AIMS: to determine whether potential correlations between CD117 and PDGFRA might serve as an indication for targeted therapies. MATERIAL AND METHODS: immunohistochemical expression of CD117 and PDGFRA was evaluated in 99 paraffin-embedded GISTs in conjunction with KIT and PDGFRA mutational status. RESULTS: CD117-positive staining was noted in 93 out of 99 cases. The predominant staining pattern was cytoplasmic,...
