Abstract excerpt
We investigated the status of the components and target genes of the Wnt signaling pathway in Japanese anaplastic thyroid cancers (ATCs) in the present study. Nuclear and cytoplasmic positive staining of beta-catenin, which might indicate the existence of alterations in the Wnt signaling pathway, were found in 40.9% and 63.6% of the 22 ATC samples, respectively. The beta-catenin, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)...
