The importance of mucinous phenotype in colorectal carcinomas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Colorectal carcinomas (CRC) are one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, but their clinicopathological characteristics are not well documented in Turkish population. We retrospectively analyzed 535 resection specimens of patients diagnosed with primary CRC between the years of 2000-2007, to refine the pathological criteria for the routine analyses of colorectal cancer specimens. We also analysed that how mucin content can effect biological behavior in CRC cases.

Background & Objective: The current approaches to reduce the risk of colorectal carcinoma are through the detection and removal of the precursor lesion” adenomatous polyps”. The study was conducted to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of p53 and bcl2 in colorectal adenomas and carcinomas. Patients and Methods: A total of 86 cases, 33 colorectal adenomas, 33 colorect...

متن کاملAnalysis of TP53 Codon 72 Polymorphism in Mucinous and Non-Mucinous Colorectal Adenocarcinoma in Isfahan, Iran
Background: The tumor suppressor gene TP53 (alias p53) located on chromosome 17 is involved in various cancers. Case-control studies have shown that p53 codon 72 polymorphism modulates the prognosis and susceptibility to various malignancies. We undertook the present study to explore a possible association between mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinomas with different genotypes or alleles at ...

Letter In a recent study, Biemer-Huttmann et al. (1) reported that the expression of both MUC2 and MUC5AC mucins is significantly associated with sporadic colorectal carcinomas with MSI-H. Because the coexpression of both MUC2 and MUC5AC was observed in 68% of a series of 22 MSI-H cancers and this mucin expression pattern is identical to that observed in serrated polyps of the colorectum (2), t...
متن کاملMucinous and Non-Mucinous Adenocarcinoma in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Background: The oncologic behavior of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) of colorectal differs from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (NMA). MA is more advanced at diagnosis and has a poorer prognosis than NMA. We aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and survival rate in patients with MA compared with NMA in Western Iran. Methods: During 2008-2015 in a retrospective study, 83 patients with CRC referred to...
