Background and Aim: EpCAM, also known as cluster of differentiation 326 (CD326), is a glycosylated, type I trans-membrane molecule, it is overexpressed in several types of neoplasms such as colorectal cancer and breast cancer. It is primarily identified as one of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Recently, it is considered as an emerging marker for detection of cancer stem cells (CSCs)in ... Read more

Background and aim: Chemokine receptor (CXCR)4 is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in many biological processes as inflammation, angiogenesis and immune responses. Previous researches illustrated that CXCR4 expression has been detected in many carcinomas of various origins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible prognostic value of CXCR4 in RCCs by correlating immunohistochemical expression of CXCR4 with ... Read more

Background and Aim: VCAM-1 (CD106) expressed mainly on activated endothelial cells in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines. Recent evidences suggest that it is closely correlated with tumor formation, angiogenesis and cancer progression. The aim of the current study was to evaluate expression status of VCAM-1 in mammary invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), and to correlate its expression with some known clinicopathological data. ...

Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant tumor in women worldwide. E-Cadherin is a calcium-dependent epithelial cell adhesion molecule that is expressed at adherens junctions. Its loss may result in a poorly differentiated tumorphenotype. Cells with mutated E-cadherin demonstrate increased motility,altered organization of their actin cytoskeletonandassociated with metastases, thereby providing evidence for its role as an invasion suppressor. Objectives:Assess the ... Read more
