Polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecules expressed in human pituitary tumors and related to extrasellar invasion

1 May 2003

Abstract excerpt

OBJECT: Pituitary adenomas are usually benign tumors; however, some behave aggressively and metastasize. Until now, no specific marker of aggressive behavior or malignancy has been found. The polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), which is highly expressed in embryonic tissues such as the brain and pituitary, is detected in some and neuroendocrine tumors. Because polysialylation has been implicated...
