Absence of E-Cadherin Expression Distinguishes Noncohesive from Cohesive Pancreatic Cancer
15 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The role of E-cadherin in carcinogenesis is of great interest, but few studies have examined its relevance to pancreatic carcinoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We evaluated E-cadherin protein expression by immunohistochemistry in pancreatobiliary cancers having a noncohesive histologic phenotype (21 undifferentiated adenocarcinomas and 7 signet ring carcinomas), comparing the results with pancreatic cancers...
