## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor. The presence of mucin (__MUC__) genes has been correlated with patient prognosis using immunohistochemical techniques. This study was undertaken to 1) investigate the expression

Altered mucin glycosylation and the de novo appearance of gastric mucin antigens have been described in colonic adenomas. The purpose of our study was to determine if expression of the gastric mucin genes MUC5AC and MUC6 occurs in colorectal adenomas and whether this correlates with histopathologic
This is the first study to describe the association between expression of MUC1 and MUC2 mucins and prognosis in ovarian cancer. Paraffin sections of epithelial ovarian tumours (n = 182: 29 benign, 21 low malignant potential, and 132 invasive tumours) were analysed immunohistochemically for expressio
The membrane-bound MUC1 mucin is expressed in normal mucosas and the aberrant expression of its under-glycosylated forms has been reported in carcinomas from different sites. Several studies have provided conflicting evidence regarding the relationship between MUC1 expression and outcome in cancer p
The expression of mucin MUCZ was investigated in normal colonic tissue, in colonic adenomas and in carcinomas of the mucinous and non-mucinous type. The latter were subdivided into carcinomas originating from the adenoma-carcinoma sequence (ACS) and de novo (DN) carcinomas. The expression was assaye
