## Abstract Despite the considerable progress in understanding the molecular pathology of carcinogenesis, the genetic mechanisms underlying the development and progression of gallbladder cancer (GC) are poorly understood. The survival of GC patients is generally poor. Therefore, it is very useful t

In conclusion, PTEN contributes in maintaining normal cell homeostasis, and the numerous alterations found in several sporadic tumor types emphasize the significance of this tumor suppressor gene. Somatic PTEN mutations appear to play an important role in the development of a subgroup of sporadic co

## 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.
