Epidermal-growth-factor-receptor(EGFR) expression was evaluated in 103 primary laryngeal tumors and in 42 normal laryngeal tissue specimens. Significantly higher EGFR levels were found in cancer specimens than in normal mucosa (p = 0.0053). EGFR expression did not correlate with age, tumor localizat

Abstract
Stromelysin‐3 expression was studied by Northern blotting in 222 tissue samples including primary and metastatic breast carcinoma and normal breast tissue. Uninvolved breast tissue from mastectomy specimens, normal breast tissue from reduction mammoplasties and normal lymph nodes did not contain stromelysin‐3 mRNA. About 62% of primary and metastatic breast carcinomas, but only I of 10 in situ ductal carcinomas, expressed stromelysin‐3. Stromelysin‐3 mRNA was found more often in estrogen‐receptor‐positive carcinomas and in histological grade‐l carcinomas. There was no significant correlation between stromelysin‐3 expression and other prognostic factors, including tumor size, lymph‐node involvement, age of patient, vascular invasion and cathepsin‐D.

## Abstract In a recent report, it has been postulated that the ubiquitous RBM proteins might constitute a novel family of apoptosis modulators. We measured the expression of the X‐chromosome __RBM__ genes (__RBMX__, __RBM3__, and __RBM10)__ in 122 breast cancers by means of differential RT‐PCR. Us
