Expression of E-Cadherin, α-Catenin, β-Catenin and Plakoglobin in Esophageal Carcinomas and Its Prognostic Significance
30 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that inactivation of the cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion system plays a role in the initial steps of cancer invasion and metastasis. Expression of E-cadherin and its intracytoplasmic binding molecules, alpha-catenin, beta-catenin and plakoglobin was examined immunohistochemically in 96 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas to investigate the association between their expression and the...
