Abstract excerpt
Expression of estrogen receptor exon 5 splicing variant (ER-E5SV) mRNA contributes to dominant positive properties and metastatic potential of gynecological cancers. Therefore, in endometriotic endometria, which conserve implantation and tumor-like spreading potentials, the expression of ER-E5SV...
