Many types of human tumours and immortal cell lines have been demonstrated to exhibit telomerase activity with the recently formulated telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP assay). However, a small proportion of undoubted tumour samples give a negative result and it has been postulated that,

The aim of our work was to study the number and distribution of tryptase-and chymase-containing mast cells in benign and malignant breast lesions. Tryptase positivity reflects the total number of mast cells, whereas chymase is not present in all mast cells. Active forms of tryptase and chymase were
## E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecule expressed by melanocytes and responsible for their adhesion to keratinocytes in vitro. In this study, the expression of E-cadherin and its associated cytoplasmic proteins -, -, and -catenin was evaluated in melanocytic lesions by imm
The diagnosis of hepatic metastases heralds a grave prognosis in breast cancer patients. The authors describe seven patients with breast cancer who were found to have hepatic defects that were suspected to present metastatic disease on initial screening and investigations. However, these patients we
The fine-needle aspiration (FNA) technique is a widely used method for diagnostic assessment of breast diseases. In the current study we investigated the feasibility of sampling material for genetic studies from the same FNA samples as would be used for breast cytology. After making smears for cytol
