Abstract excerpt
Topoisomerase I (Topo I) and thymidylate synthase (TS) are essential enzymes for the replication, transcription and repair of DNA, and are potential biomarkers in colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of the study was to correlate the tissue expression of Topo I and TS in sporadic CRCs with relevant pathological and molecular features and patients' outcome. Topo I and TS expression was assessed by immunostaining in...
