## BACKGROUND. Although DNA index (DI) has prognostic significance in a variety of pediatric malignancies, there are few data regarding its utility in central nervous system (CNS) tumors. We have previously shown that patients with hyperdiploid medulloblastoma have a significantly better survival
Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was studied by immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay in ten gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors. Tissue and serum levels of NSE from the same patients were also analyzed. In all cases, NSE was localized by immunohistochemistry as diffuse cytoplasmic s
Collagenolytic activity, extracted from 55 tumor and healthy corresponding intestinal control samples, was determined by 3 different assays using soluble type I and fibrillar type I and 111 collagen, respectively, as substrate. The enzyme extracted from tumor-digested collagen type I reconstituted f
