Expression of CD44 and its variants is associated with clinically aggressive behavior of some human cancers. The present study was undertaken to determine the expression level of these CD44 mRNAs in relation to the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of gastric cancer. Using reverse transcripti

## Abstract Suppression of apoptosis may favor the onset and progression of cancer. Survivin is an inhibitor of apoptosis that has been suggested as a novel diagnostic/prognostic marker of bladder cancer. In this study, survivin mRNA expression was measured by a sensitive realβtime PCR assay in tum
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Variants of CD44 have been proposed to be important in promoting tumor progression and metastasis. We attempted to determine the expression of CD44v6 product in advanced gastric cancer and to evaluate its prognostic value. ## Methods The expression of CD4
## Abstract Distant metastasis is the major cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. To identify genes influencing the prognosis of patients with CRC, we compared gene expression in primary tumors with and without distant metastasis using an oligonucleotide microarray. We also examined t
