Distinguishing the progression of an endometrioma: benign or malignant?
ConclusionsKRAS, HNF1β, PIK3CA, PPP2R1 A, and ARID1 A immunostaining scores in endometriomas previous to OCCC were significantly different than in endometriomas with no malignancy occurring in subsequent follow-ups, and were single predictors of OCCC. Hence, immunostaining with these biomarkers may be a method of identifying patients with endometrioma who have the potential to develop OCCC.
