摘要: The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression E-cadherin as a potential marker for prognosis thyroid carcinomas. In normal (n = 8), messenger ribonucleic acid levels uniformly high and seemed be restricted thyrocytes. Steady-state immunostaining were both completely lost in undifferentiated carcinomas 7) variably reduced differentiated 44). follow-up during mean 4.5 +/- 1.4 yr, immunohistochemical compared with initial clinicopathological parameters locoregional recurrence development nodal or distant metastases Immunohistochemical greatly progression primary tumor stage 4 (pT4) tumors. parallel, patients pT4 tumors had higher rate a...
