Abstract excerpt
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a clinical syndrome characterized by gross mucinous ascites originating from a disseminated intraperitoneal neoplasm. Although typically confined to the abdomen, mortality is high if untreated. Biomarkers, including genetic mutation profiles, may aid treatment selection and decision making. We applied whole-exome sequencing to five patients diagnosed with low-grade appendiceal...
