The Mammaglobin gene, a breast-specific member of the uteroglobin gene family, has been previously identified as being overexpressed in some breast tumours, but the cellular origin and relationship to tumour progression are unknown. Using a subtractive hybridization approach, mammaglobin mRNA has al

Sialosyl-Tn, a mucin-associated carbohydrate antigen, is not expressed by normal mucus-producing cells of the stomach but becomes expressed in metaplastic, pre-malignant and malignant gastric tissues. Reports vary as to the frequency of STn expression and its prognostic role in gastric cancer. To de
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Hormonal factors may play a more prominent role in cervical adenocarcinoma than squamous cell carcinoma. The authors evaluated whether obesity, which can influence hormone levels, was associated with adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. ## METHODS This caseβcontr
We used a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method for squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen mRNA to detect circulating tumour cells in patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The sensitivity of the method, as determined by cell spiking experiments, was 10 cultured A431 cells am
Because they may be used as a quantifiable estimate of the extent of recent DNA injury, micronuclei, extrachromosomal fragments ofDNA, are among themost studied potential intermediate markers of cancer chemoprevention. Serial measurements of micronuclei frequency may be easily performed on scrapings
