Immunohistochemical Expression of Stanniocalcin 2 in Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Egyptian Study.

Background & Objective: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Stanniocalcin 2 (STC2) is a glycoprotein hormone over-expressed in many human cancers where it regulates tumor progression and invasion. Evaluating its expression in colorectal cancer and its relation with different clinicopathological parameters can provide valuable information about its role in colorectal cancer progression and behavior.
