Insufficiency of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) occurs in numerous tumor types and has been implicated as a resistance mechanism to receptor tyrosine kinase-targeted therapies in human cancer. In this study, we have performed a comprehensive molecular and immunohistochemical characterization of PTEN in 58 imatinib-naïve and 54 imatinib-treated gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). The findings were...
