## Abstract Metastatic spread to the liver is the major contributor to mortality in patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC). In order to seek for gene expression patterns associated with metastatic potential in primary CRC, we compared the transcriptional profiles of 10 radically resected primary

Background: Contribution of immunosuppressive cytokines to tumor progression in many types of cancers has been suggested. To characterize the in vivo expression of immunosuppressive cytokines in gastric cancer, we analyzed the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of transforming growth factor+ (TGF-P) an
Expression of HMGI(Y), a nucleoprotein that binds to A/T rich sequences in the minor groove of the DNA helix, is observable in neoplastically transformed cells but not in normal cells. We have analyzed HMGI(Y) expression in colorectal cancer and evaluated its clinicopathologic significance. HMGI(Y)
## Background: Sex steroid hormones influence function of the human gastrointestinal tract. although the specific receptor proteins have been identified in surgical specimens of both intestinal mucosa and colorectal carcinomas, it is still unknown whether they are expressed in intestinal epithelial
