Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The new classification of endometrial carcinoma (EC) requires molecular interpretation of somatic polymerase epsilon (POLE) exonuclease domain mutations. The identification of pathogenic mutations within the POLE gene defines the important subtype of ultramutated tumours ("POLE-ultramutated") with specified prognostic and predictive utility. POLE somatic mutations are present in 7-12% of ECs, usually...
