Loss of E‐cadherin and β‐catenin is correlated with poor prognosis of ampullary neoplasms

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Distant metastasis resulting from carcinoma cell detachment from the primary tumor involves modification of adhesion molecules. This study was conducted to examine the correlation of E-cadherin/beta-catenin expression with survival and recurrence in ampullary neoplasms. METHODS: Patients with diagnoses of ampullary neoplasms were enrolled in the study. Demographics, operative findings,...
