Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We evaluated droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) method for detecting POLE mutations in endometrial cancer (EC) and guiding its molecular classification. METHODS: We reviewed 240 EC specimens from our hospital database. A ddPCR assay was used to identify POLE mutations at 5 known hotspots (P286R, S297F, V411L, A456P, and S459F). Expressions of p53 and mismatch repair proteins were...
