Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To test the hypothesis that the hypoxia marker carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), and the cholangiocytic/progenitor markers cytokeratin (CK) 19 and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), may be expressed in areas of hypoxia in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). METHODS AND RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry for CAIX, CK19 and EpCAM (BerEP4) was performed in 57 HCCs,...
