Uterine endometrial carcinoma is common among women. Several reports indicated that this cancer is influenced by androgens mediated through their receptors. The human androgen receptor gene contains a polymorphic CAG repeat in the coding region of exon 1. Other studies suggested a possible associati

p53 protein expression of 30 hormone-refractory locally recurrent prostate cancers was compared with their matched untreated primary tumour specimens. In addition, androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and p53 protein immunostaining were compared. p53 positivity increased during hormonal therapy
The tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3), a recently cloned member of TIMP gene family, has been implicated in the negative regulation of tumor cell invasion and tumor growth. Down-regulation of this gene has been shown to occur in a mouse carcinogenesis model, suggesting that it might p
