Overview

NCI Definition: A benign or malignant neoplasm that arises from and is composed of epithelial cells. This category include adenomas, papillomas, and carcinomas. [1]

Epithelial neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, KMT2D, RB1, ARID1A, and PIK3CA [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Epithelial Neoplasm

TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Exon 8 Mutation, and TP53 Exon 5 Mutation are the most common alterations in epithelial neoplasm [2].
