Level of α-catenin expression in colorectal cancer correlates with invasiveness, metastatic potential, and survival
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Decreased expression of the E-cadherin/alpha-catenin cell-cell adhesion complex is considered to elicit detachment of tumor cells from primary lesions and development of metastases. The immunohistochemical profile of alpha-catenin in colorectal cancer, as well as its correlation with differentiation, lymph node/liver metastasis and patient survival is presented in this study. METHODS:...
