Over the past 10 years it has become apparent that invasion and metastasis are extremely complex processes; neoplastic cells must escape from the primary tumor, degrade the extracellular matrix, migrate to distant sites, arrest in the capillaries, and migrate through the basement membrane and underl

To clarify the role of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in perineural invasion, NCAM expression was studied by immunohistochemical staining in 26 cases with gallbladder cancer. In gallbladder cancer, the incidence of perineural invasion and that of positive NCAM expression was 42% and 3 1 %, res
Perineural invasion is associated with tumor spreading and an unfavorable prognosis in a variety of cancers. Recently, neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been reported to be affinitive to neural tissues, which suggests some relationship between NCAM and perineural invasion. This study was desi
## Background and objective: Peritoneal dissemination and hepatic metastasis commonly occur after patients with pancreatic cancer have undergone surgery. it is thought that specific adhesion molecules play corresponding roles in cancer metastasis. ## Study design/materials and methods: We conduct
