Is nuclear expression of Snail1 in borderline and malignant epithelial ovarian tumours associated with tumour progression?
Nuclear Snail1 expression seems to be related to tumour progression, and expression in borderline tumours indicates a role for Snail1 in early epithelial ovarian tumour development. Snail1 also appears to function more generally in tissue remodelling as positive staining was demonstrated in stromal cells.
Caudate lobe resection in combination with major hepatectomy did not affect operative or postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, it led to higher rates of margin-negative resections and significantly improved survival.
