Breast cancer is a major global health burden with high morbidity and mortality rates. Previous studies have reported that increased expression of ASAP1 is associated with poor prognosis in various types of cancer. This study was conducted on 452 breast cancer patients who underwent surgery at Hanyang University Hospital, Seoul, South Korea.

Background: Cortactin is overexpressed in several types of invasive cancers. However, the role of cortactin expression in breast cancer prognosis has not been sufficiently elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the clinicopathological significance of cortactin in breast cancer.

In this study, the expression level and clinicopathological significance of SSBP2 in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) were evaluated. We also identified biological pathways associated with a set of genes potentially related to SSBP2.

The role of CADM4 in gallbladder cancer (GBC) has not been reported. Therefore, the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of CADM4 expression in GBC were evaluated in the present study.

MTUS1 is thought to be downregulated in various human cancers and associated with poor prognosis. We evaluated the clinicopathologic significance and prognostic value of MTUS1 in colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Immune checkpoint therapy that targets CD47 has been successful in preclinical trials and is currently undergoing clinical investigation for various human malignancies. Here, the clinicopathological correlation with CD47 expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was explored.

The expression of ArfGAP with SH3 domain ankyrin repeat and PH domain 1 (ASAP1) is increased in various types of cancer, showing potential as a prognostic marker. The clinicopathological implications of ASAP1 expression in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. We thus investigated the clinicopathological significance and prognostic effect of ASAP1 expression in HCC patients.

CD47 is highly expressed in cancer cells and has potential as a therapeutic target and prognostic factor in cancer patients. The expression patterns of CD47 in basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its precursor lesions, and its clinicopathological significance were investigated.

The prognostic implications of CADM4 in gastric cancer have not been conclusively elucidated. Therefore, we evaluated the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of CADM4 expression in a large series of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.
