Purpose: To investigate the use of PTEN biomarker to improve prognostic stratification in patients with localized gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
Methods: PTEN expression and genomic analysis were performed on two independent GIST-60 (n = 60) and GIST-100 (n = 100) cohorts, respectively.
Results: PTEN expression was significantly lower in patients with local and metastatic recurrent tumor compared with those with no recurrence ( = .

We investigated the association between immune-mediated conditions and endometriosis among young women.
Method Of Study: This cross-sectional analysis in the Women's Health Study: From Adolescence to Adulthood included 551 participants with surgically diagnosed endometriosis (median age=19) and 652 controls without endometriosis (median age=24).
