Abstract excerpt
The loss of E-cadherin expression leads to absence of tissue integrity, an essential step in tumor progression. Methylation of CpG islands in the promoter region of the CDH1 gene coding E-cadherin might be an alternative for gene silencing. In the present study, we investigate the expression of E-cadherin and hormone receptors in invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDCs). Protein expression was analysed...
