colorectal cancer remains one of the major cancer- related deaths despite progress in the treatment during past decades. detection of disease at earlier stages reduces its mortality. the aim of current study was to investigate expression of cytokeratin 19 (ck19), cytokeratin 20 (ck20) and guanylyl cyclase c (gcc) mrna in peripheral blood of non- metastatic colorectal cancer patients which may r...

background and aims: immunohistochemical tests are one of the most important tests, which are under study to determine the prognosis of the cancers such as transitional cell carcinoma. by the time, flexible cystoscopy and urine cytology are the routine tests for following up the patients with transitional cell carcinoma, which are both operator dependent. on the other hand, cystoscopy is an inv...

The differential diagnosis between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma (CC) and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (MCA) may be difficult when only based on morphology. For this purpose immunohistochemical analyses are often required, utilizing antibodies directed against CK8-18, Hep-Par1, glypican 3, CK7, CK19, CK20. Here we report a case of a 65-year-old man who presented wit...
