P58 Differential molecular diagnosis of uterine leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas using DNA and RNA sequencing

2019

Introduction/Background Nowadays, the absence of standardized criteria to identify and differentiate uterine leiomyomas (LM) and leiomyosarcomas (LMS) prior to surgery, cause a significant stress in the patient, leading to unnecessary invasive procedures and additional costs to the National Health System. As consequence, the development of an accurate and non-invasive differential diagnostic methods in patients with surgical indication is needed to avoid the potential dissemination of hidden LMS from morcellation. We aim to identify differential genetic targets in LMS vs LM using Next Generation Sequencing to advance our knowledge in their differential diagnosis. Methodology A total of 13 L…
