Abstract excerpt
We studied the expression of axin and beta-catenin and their relation to clinicopathologic factors in 100 non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) by immunohistochemical analysis. The mutation in exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene was examined by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. Preserved axin expression was significantly higher in well- and moderately differentiated NSCLC samples than in poorly...
