Fifty sporadic colorectal carcinomas diagnosed in 1991 were analysed for microsatellite instability at four loci. Five of 50 (10 per cent) tumours showed replication errors (RERs) at two or more loci and were classed as RER-positive (RER+). A further five showed RERs at one locus only. A significant
## Background: Thymidine phosphorylase (tp), which is identical to platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (pd-ecgf), stimulates chemotaxis of endothelial cells and is involved in the angiogenesis of human solid tumors. ## Methods: The activity and expression of tp were examined in human
## BACKGROUND. Expression of nm23 has been shown to be inversely correlated with the metastatic potential of several human cancers. In the current study, the expression and prognostic impact of nm23 was immunohistochemically studied in 413 curatively resected gastric carcinomas. ## METHODS. Tumor
