Expression of catenin and E-cadherin in human esophageal cancer and the clinical significance

Objective To investigate the Expression of E cadherin,α catenin,β catenin and γ catenin and its clinic pathology in esophageal cancer. Methods The E cadherin, α catenin,β catenin and γ catenin expression were examined immunohistochemically in 62 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of esophageal.Clinical dated were reviewed and their correlations with the expression of catenin and E cadherin were analyzed. Results Reduced expression of E cadherin and γ catenin was well associated with poorer di...
