The human homologue (PTCH) of the Drosophila segment polarity gene patched has recently been identified as a tumorsuppressor gene for nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome and for sporadic basal cell carcinomas of the skin. We analyzed 30 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) for intrageneic mut

โค-catenin regulates cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion and also functions as a signaling molecule. In this study, we examined the expression pattern of E-cadherin, โฃ-catenin and โค-catenin in 22 cases of esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma by Western-blot analysis. Expression of E-cadherin, โฃ-cateni
## Background: Recent studies on the role of bcl-2 in malignant tumors have suggested its prognostic significance. the goals of the current study were to determine any correlation between bcl-2 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and histopathology, lymph node metastasis, and clinical
## Background and objectives: It is generally accepted that the overexpression of p53 protein is associated with poor prognosis in breast, colorectal, and other types of cancer. however, the prognostic significance of p53 aberrations in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma has yet to be determined. w
The expression of the Wilms tumor suppressor gene WT1 is largely restricted to elements of the developing urogenital system. In the fetal kidney, WT1 transcripts are present at low levels in the condensing mesenchyme and at much higher levels in differentiating glomerular epithelium and are not dete
## Background and Objectives: The goal was to evaluate the clinicopathological significance of retinoblastoma gene product (pRB) expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: We investigated abnormal pRB expression in tumors in 191 patients using an immunohistochemical method in conjun
