Abstract excerpt
Alterations in beta-catenin degradation cause it to accumulate to immunohistochemically detectable levels in the nuclei of tumor cells. Although it has been shown that nuclear beta-catenin immunostaining is useful for the diagnosis of some mesenchymal tumors, there is little known about beta-catenin expression in endometrial stromal tumors. In this study, nuclear beta-catenin immunoreactivity was evaluated in...
