## Loss of expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule E-cadherin frequently occurs in invasive lobular breast carcinomas as a result of mutational inactivation. Expression patterns of E-cadherin and the molecules comprising the cytoplasmic complex of adherens junctions, -, -and -catenin, we

Tumour cell invasion and metastasis are the processes which kill most cancer patients. Tumour cells with the greatest invasive and metastatic capacity may be those with the highest number of genetic aberrations. The present study has analysed the expression of several tumour-related proteins in both
This study examines the expression of the cell-cell adhesion molecules E-cadherin and its associated proteins, the catenins and the matrix-cell adhesion molecules 1-and 2-integrins, in primary invasive breast carcinoma. Expression was assessed immunohistochemically on frozen sections by semi-quantit
It is now well documented that E-cadherin expression correlates inversely with tumor grade in various carcinomas including prostate cancer. We also demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between decreased E-cadherin expression and progression-free period in early stage patients treated
