Keratin 20 is a specific marker of submicroscopic lymph node metastases in colorectal cancer: validation by K-RAS mutations.

The Journal of pathology - 1 May 2000

Abstract excerpt

Lymph node status has major prognostic importance in colorectal cancer and greater precision in the diagnosis of lymph node metastases should provide better prognostic and therapeutic guidance. Keratin 20 (K20) gene expression has been used as a marker of lymph node metastases, but the evidence for this remains circumstantial. This study has therefore sought to determine K20 specificity and to correlate K20...
