Association of the Actin-Binding Protein Transgelin with Lymph Node Metastasis in Human Colorectal Cancer

Abstract excerpt

Metastatic dissemination of primary tumors is responsible for 90% of colorectal cancer (CRC) deaths. The presence of positive lymph nodes, which separates stage I/II from stage III CRC, is a particularly key factor in patient management. Here, we describe results of a quantitative proteomic survey to identify molecular correlates of node status. Laser capture microdissection and two-dimensional difference gel...
