Neural cell adhesion molecule-180 expression as a prognostic criterion in colorectal carcinoma
October 3, 2007 criterion, colorectal, carcinoma, molecule-180, adhesion, Expression, Neural cell, Prognostic No Comments
To evaluate the frequency of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM)-180 expression in fresh tumor tissue samples and to discuss the prognostic value of NCAM-180 in routine clinical practice. METHODS: Twenty-six patients (16 men, 10 women) with colorectal cancer were included in the study. Fresh tumor tissue samples and macroscopically healthy proximal margins of each specimen were subjected to flow-cytometric analysis for NCAM-180 expression. RESULTS: Flow-cytometric analysis determined NCAM-180 expression in whole tissue samples of macroscopically healthy colorectal tissues.
