This article describes the clinicopathologic features of six cases of uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC), which developed several years after radiation therapy (RT) for cervical carcinoma. The possible etiologic role of radiation is discussed, and the literature on endometrial carcinomas deve

## Abstract Eโcadherin mutations are found in 50% of diffuseโtype gastric carcinoma, but not in intestinal gastric carcinoma. Because cellโcell adhesion mediated by Eโcadherin plays an important role in epithelial cell survival, Eโcadherin mutations could alter the apoptotic behavior of tumor cells
## BACKGROUND. The two most common types of uterine endometrial carcinoma, endometrioid (UEC) and serous (USC), differ in their histopathologic appearance and biologic behavior. Recent studies suggest that these differences may be associated with distinct molecular genetic alterations. ## METHODS.
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor type II receptor HERโ2/__neu__ has been associated with resistance to chemotherapy and poor survival in several human tumors. In the current study, the authors have determined the frequency and clinical significance of HERโ2/_
## Abstract In addition to the loss of function, mutant p53 can possess a dominantโnegative effect on wildโtype p53 and may also exert gainโofโfunction activity. It is not clear whether the functional status of __p53__ mutation contributes to differences in outcome in endometrial cancer. We collect
