[Immunomorphological characteristics of primary and recurrent breast neoplasms].

Primary and recurring breast carcinomas do not differ in the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), C-erb-2 oncoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen and trophoblastic antigen. The content of PCNA and C-erb-2 oncoprotein is twice as high in tumors with an unfavorable prognosis and the frequency of combination of these markers is much higher comparing to tumors with a good prognosis.

[Immunomorphologic markers in breast cancer].

Mammary carcinoma (MC) of various histological structure are studied immunomorphologically. Positive reaction with proliferative cells nuclear antigen (PCNA) oncoprotein cerbB-2, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), trophoblastic beta 1 globulin (TBG) and tissue protein ferritin (Fe) was observed in one third, and with cyprein in half of MC cases. Clear-cut dependence of immunomorphological parameters upon histologic structure and degree of malignancy was not established.

[An immunohistochemical study of pepsinogen type C in the gastric mucosa and in stomach cancer].

129 cases of non-malignant gastric lesions and 171 cases of gastric carcinoma were studied immunohistochemically for pepsinogen C. PgC was constantly expressed at the bottom of the gastric glands irrespective of the disease. PgC was much more frequently observed in cancer patients (p < 0.

[The immunohistochemical study of trophoblast beta 1-globulin expression in cancer and in the mucosa of the large intestine].

The expression of pregnancy-specific beta-1-globulin (SP1) was studied in cancer-affected and nonaffected colon mucosa. The antigen was revealed in 19 out of 50 (38%) cases of carcinoma and in 1 out of 4 cases of ulcerative colitis. SP1 was found neither in noncancer colon mucosa nor in transitional mucosa and adenomas.
