The Prognostic Value of BRCA1 and PARP Expression in Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma: Immunohistochemical Detection
4 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
BRCA1/2 mutation status in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) presently relies on genetic testing which is resource consuming. Immunohistochemistry is cheap, fairly reproducible, and may identify gene product alterations due to both germline and somatic mutations and other defects along the BRCA gene pathway (BRCAness phenomenon), which is important when treatment with poly (adenosine-diphosphate-ribose) polymerase...
