Identifying colorectal metastases in liver biopsies: the novel CDX2 antibody is less specific than the cytokeratin 20+/7- phenotype.

Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research - 1 May 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Immunohistochemistry plays an important role in tracing the primary site in metastatic tumors of unknown origin. Therefore, determining the cytokeratin (CK) 20/CK7 pattern of metastases is one of the most helpful procedures as the CK20+/CK7- pattern is typical of colorectal adenocarcinomas. Expression of CDX2 protein is a new, highly specific and sensitive marker of the intestinal origin of...
