Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic analyses have identified BRAF V600E mutations in a subset of ovarian carcinomas. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of BRAF V600E aberrant protein using a novel mutation-specific antibody in epithelial ovarian tumors. METHODS: We immunohistochemically analyzed expression of V600E-mutant BRAF protein in archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of 142...
