Article Synopsis
- Syndecan-1 (CD138) is a key protein found in various normal and cancerous tissues, potentially serving as a marker for cancer prognosis and as a target for specific therapies like indatuximab.
- A study analyzed CD138 expression in 2,518 tissue samples, revealing that most tumor types showed some level of expression, particularly high in squamous cell carcinomas (e.g., esophagus and cervix).
- While CD138 is abundant in many tumors, its strong presence in normal tissues could complicate its use as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment.
