Adhesion molecules as predictors of nasal polyposis recurrence.

Background: Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammation of nasal and paranasal sinuses in the pathogenesis of which adhesion molecules may have a significant role. This study investigates the possible role of certain adhesion molecules, mucins, and oncogenes in nasal polyposis recurrence.

Methods: A sample study of 21 individuals (17 men and 4 women) aged 47.
