## Background: The c-erbb-2 gene codes for a putative transmembrane protein, similar in structure to the epidermal growth factor receptor. amplification and/or overexpression of the gene has been recently described with a prognostic significance in a variety of human adenocarcinomas. ## Methods:
## BACKGROUND. Angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth, progression, and metastases. Microvessel density (MVD), a measure of tumor angiogenesis, has been found to have prognostic significance in many tumor types for predicting metastasis and survival. Between 1979 -1989, 56 cases of FIGO Clinic
Background. Adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix typically is an aggressive neoplasm with a propensity for early invasion and dissemination. Little data are available correlating histologic, histochemical, or immunocytochemical parameters with the biologic behavior of this neoplasm. Specifically, th
