Background. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary gland shows a variable clinical course. It would be helpful to discover reliable biologic markers in the management of patients with ACC. Methods. We examined proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and c-erbB-2 oncoprotein expression on
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)βA plays an important role in breast cancer progression. However, the involvement of VEGFβC and VEGFβD, two newer members of the VEGF family, in breast carcinoma and their relationship with clinicopathologic p
The cell-surface receptor tyrosine kinase protein c-erbB-2 is immunocytochemically detected as membrane staining on the surface of cancer cells in 20-30% of cases of breast cancer, and its presence has been associated with poor prognosis for the patient. However, there have been numerous reports of
It is now accepted that c-erbB2-gene amplification is correlated with poor clinical outcome for patients, mainly when axillary nodes are invaded. We have confirmed this result by multivariate analysis in I78 patients with non-inflammatory breast cancer followed up for a mean period of 6.8 years (SD,
