Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Aberrant expression of specific isoforms of the cell adhesion molecule CD44 has been detected in various malignant human tumors. We wanted to verify whether the expression of these splice variants was associated with a higher incidence of metastasis and poor prognosis. METHODS: We stud...
