conclusions imp3 immunoreactivity was associated with poor differentiation of tumor yet not associated with tumor size depth of invasion or lymph node involvement. results immunoreactivity pattern of imp3 was cytoplasmic in different clinicopathologic findings. among different clinicopathologic findings, we found a statistical relationship between tumor differentiation and imp3 (p = 0.047); so ...

background colorectal cancer (crc) is the second most common malignancy in the world.  however, its mortality rate can be reduced if diagnosed early. p33 ing1b is a tumor suppressor protein, which plays a role in growth control and apoptosis. suppression of p33 ing1b is associated with the loss of cellular growth control. however, p33 ing1b expression in crc and its correlations with clinicopat...

Curcumin exhibits both cancer- preventive activity and growth inhibitory effects on several neoplastic cells including human colon cancer. Serotonin and its receptors have also been implicated in tumor development. This study investigated the effect of ritanserin, a selective serotonin 5HT2A receptor antagonist, alone and in combination with curcumin on colorectal cancer cell lines. Result...
