The Value of Desocollin 2 (DSC-2) Expression in Differentiation between Urinary Bladder Transitional and Squamous Cell Carcinoma
THIS STUDY AIMS to investigate Desmocollin 2 (DSC-2) expression in TCC and SCC, and its role in the differentiation between TCC and SCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: DSC-2 immunostaining was studied in 90 specimens of bladder carcinomas using avidin-biotin peroxidase method. RESULTS: DSC-2 was strongly expressed in 11/31(35.5%) of invasive TCC. DSC-2 was detected in all TCC with squamous differentiation. DSC-2 ... Read more
