The expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in osteosarcoma and its relevance as a prognostic parameter

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: The expression of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) was analysed in 47 osteosarcomas to determine differences in the expression of BMP subtypes and to correlate expression with response to chemotherapy, in addition to the disease free and overall survival of patients. METHODS: The expression of BMPs was examined immunohistochemically in 47 biopsy specimens of osteosarcoma using commercially available...
