Abstract excerpt
Loss of S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) expression is a common event in cancer leading to a critical vulnerability of cancer cells towards anti-cancer drugs. Homozygous MTAP deletions result in a complete expression loss that can be detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In this study, a tissue microarray containing 17,078 samples from 149 different tumor entities was analyzed by IHC, and complete...
