Abstract excerpt
Recent studies reported the presence of oncogenic mutations in normal endometrial glands, but the biological significance remains unclear. The present study investigated the status of KRAS/PIK3CA driver mutations in normal endometrial glands as well as spheroids derived from single glands. The normal endometria of surgically removed uteri (n = 3) were divided into nine regions, and 40 endometrial single glands...
