## Abstract ## Objective The present study was performed to examine the CD133 expression in colorectal cancer and to analyze its relationship with microsatellite instability (MSI) and the clinicopathological factors, including patient survival. ## Methods The CD133 mRNA levels in 61 primary colo

## Abstract The receptor tyrosine kinase epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is often expressed in solid malignant tumours, and the expression has been correlated to disease progression. Multiple new agents targeted against the EGFR have been developed during the last decade, but treatment sele
The expression of specific cell-adhesion molecule CD44 isoforms (splice variants) is associated with metastatic spread and poor prognosis in human malignancies. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether CD44 isoform expression is a prognostic factor in early-stage cervical cancer. We used 4 diff
