## Abstract ## BACKGROUND CD9 has been implicated in cell adhesion, motility, and proliferation, and numerous studies have demonstrated its prognostic value in different solid tumors. The objective of this study was to determine the relation of CD9 expression to tumor grade and tumor stage of urot

## BACKGROUND. None of the commonly used staging criteria accurately determine the prognosis of a patient with adenocarcinoma of Barrett's esophagus. The authors therefore assessed the expression pattern and prognostic impact of CD44 standard and CD44 isoforms CD44v4, v5,v6,v7, and v10 in adenocar
The expression of the standard CD44 (CD44s) and its v6 isoform (CD44v6) was analysed immunohistochemically in 173 cases of transitional cell bladder cancer. The results of immunohistochemical analyses were related to established prognostic factors and clinical follow-up data. The expression intensit
Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) of the skin exhibit a wide range of histological growth patterns as well as a highly variable rate of invasiveness. A large body of experimental and clinical studies supports a role for the CD44 glycoprotein family in the latter process. In the present study, we explored
