Background. Evidence suggests that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is involved in the pathogenesis of certain cancers. Focal adhesion kinase is overexpressed in invasive and metastatic cancers of the breast, colon, thyroid, and prostate. The objective of this study was to determine the presence and cel

It has been suggested that the number of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) correlates with cellular activity and the aggressiveness of malignancy. The mean number of AgNORs per nucleus may, therefore, be a prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of this stud
## BACKGROUND. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a tyrosine kinase that is important to such key functions such as cell adhesion, motility, and invasion. A MEDLINE search of the years 1980 -1998 found no previous reports of FAK expression in human ovarian carcinoma. The authors performed experiments
