Background Altered levels of circulating adhesion molecules found in several carcinomas,
including lung cancer, reflect local loss of diffusion barriers and tumor volume and can be …

Aim: Aberrant expression of the epithelial transmembrane adhesion molecule E-cadherin (E-
cad) has been associated with many human malignancies. In the present study the clinical …

Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) has been implicated in tumor
progression and metastasis. However the expression of circulating sICAM-1 as well as its …

Aim The mortality of lung cancer remains high and methods for early diagnosis are still
lacking. Recently, exhaled breath condensate (EBC) has been considered a potential tool …

Cell adhesion is a basic count in inter-and intra-cellular communication and plays an
important role in tumor progression. This study was conducted to investigate the serum …

The expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54) seems to have an
influence on the metastatic behaviour of tumour cells via immunological mechanisms …

Abstract E-cadherin (E-cad) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are important cell
adhesion and signaling pathway mediators. This study aimed to assess their expression in …

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the re-lationship between E-cadherin (E-cad) and Ki-67, and to
determine their clinical significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND …

Aims and background E-cadherin, also known as uvomorulin or cell-CAM 120/80, is one of
the subclasses of cadherins, CA2+-dependent cell adhesion molecules. Several recent …

E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent, epithelial cell adhesion molecule whose reduced
expression has been associated with tumor dedifferentiation and increased lymph node …
