Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The 32/67-kD laminin receptor is thought to be involved in tumor cell migration and metastasis formation, and enhanced expression was observed in human colorectal carcinoma. Our objective was to investigate further the expression of the 32/67-kD laminin receptor RNA in human colonic carcinogenesis. METHODS: We obtained sections of human colonic tissues in various stages of malignant transformation and...
