serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma
Sunday 15 November 2009
A recent characterization of serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) and of the p53 signature suggested that HG-PSC may follow a stepwise progression on cellular and molecular levels. (#19898227#)
HMGA2
In invasive carcinoma, HMGA2 overexpression is correlated with p53, indicating the role of HMGA2 in p53 mediated tumor progression. Immunoreactivity for HMGA2 may lead to a novel, useful biomarker to complement p53 in the detection of early-stage serous carcinoma. (#19898227#)
