CD24 expression has a prognostic impact in breast carcinoma.

We investigated the prognostic significance of BAG-1 and CD24 in invasive breast carcinomas. Seventy cases of invasive breast carcinoma were studied immunocytochemically for the expression of BAG-1 and CD24. The results were correlated with several prognostic parameters, including 5-year survival.

The prognostic value of PTEN, p53, and beta-catenin in endometrial carcinoma: a prospective immunocytochemical study.

Mutations of the PTEN, p53, and beta-catenin genes are the most frequent molecular defects in endometrial carcinomas. The aim of this study was to investigate their prognostic significance in this form of cancer. Imprint smears were obtained from 80 fresh endometrial tumor specimens and studied immunocytochemically for the expression of PTEN, p53, and beta-catenin proteins.
