Clinicopathologic Features andFHITGene Expression in Sporadic Colorectal Adenocarcinomas

evaluation of vegf immunohistochemical expression and correlation with clinicopathologic features in colorectal cancer

background: vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a signal protein produced by cells that stimulates angiogenesis and increased vascular permeability. the prognostic value of vegf expression in colorectal cancer is unclear as shown by the discordant results still reported in the literature. this study was designed for the evaluation of vegf expression and correlation with clinicopatholog...

Association of CD166 expression with clinicopathologic characteristics of colorectal cancer

Clinicopathologic features of BRCA-linked and sporadic ovarian cancer.

CONTEXT Most hereditary ovarian cancers are associated with germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Attempts to define the clinical significance of BRCA mutation status in ovarian cancer have produced conflicting results, especially regarding survival. OBJECTIVE To determine whether hereditary ovarian cancers have distinct clinical and pathological features compared with sporadic (nonhereditary...

correlation of colorectal cancer stem cell marker cd24 expression with clinicopathologic features and survival of patients with colorectal cancer

background : cancer stem cells are a subgroup of tumor cells that have the capability for self-renewal and differentiation and are characterized by multiple markers. several studies have been conducted to identify these cells in colorectal cancer, including stem cell marker cd24. this study has evaluatedtheassociation of cd24 expression with clinicopathologic features and survival in an immunoh...

Clinicopathologic Features of Colorectal Carcinoma in HIV-Positive Patients.

BACKGROUND Emerging evidence suggests differences in colorectal cancer in HIV-infected patients (HIV(+)) compared with HIV(-) patients. Microsatellite instability (MSI), occurring in a subset of colorectal cancer, is present at a higher rate in certain cancers in HIV(+) patients. Colorectal cancer with MSI share some characteristics with those reported for HIV(+) colorectal cancer. On this prem...
