17 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Focal adhesion Kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed in tumors and plays a significant role in tumor survival and metastasis. The purpose of the study is to perform correlation of FAK expression with patient prognostic factors using tissue microarrays (TMA) samples. METHODS: We analyzed FAK expression by immunohistochemical staining in 196 breast primary tumor...
