Overexpression of POSTN in Tumor Stroma Is a Poor Prognostic Indicator of Colorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND Tumor microenvironment has recently drawn attention in that it is related with tumor prognosis. Cancer-associated fibroblast also plays a critical role in cancer invasiveness and progression in colorectal cancers. Periostin (POSTN), originally identified to be expressed in osteoblasts and osteoblast-derived cells, is expressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts in several tissue types ...
متن کاملIs Bax/Bcl-2 Ratio Considered as a Prognostic Marker with Age and Tumor Location in Colorectal Cancer?
Background: Bax and Bcl-2 are the major members of Bcl-2 family whose play a key role in tumor progression or inhibition of intrinsic apoptotic pathway triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic members of this family can determine the cellular fate. Methods: In this study, the relative level of mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 genes was deter...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of tumour stroma ratio in inflammatory breast cancer
Tumour stroma ratio (TSR) is emerging as an important prognostic indicator in cancer. We have previously shown TSR to be prognostic in oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Its role in inflammatory breast cancer, a rare but aggressive form of breast cancer, has not been identified. Here we aimed to determine the prognostic significance of TSR in a cohort of patients with inflammatory breas...
متن کاملPrognostic role of the ratio between cyclooxygenase-2 in tumor and stroma compartments in cervical cancer.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in a large series of 175 cervical cancer patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded sections by using rabbit antiserum against COX-2. The tumor:stroma (T/S) ratio of COX-2 expression was used to define the overall COX-2 content in the tumor. RESULTS The T/S COX...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of the Tumor-Stroma Ratio in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) has recently been identified as a promising prognostic parameter for several solid tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of TSR in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and 838 EOC patients were enrolled in this study. TSR was estimated on hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained tissue sections from the most invasive part of the primary tumor. Patients were classifie...
