Does tissue microarray analysis reveal prognostic significance of syndecan-1 expression in prostate cancer?
The results of this TMA study confirm a dominant prognostic significance of Gleason grading and Ki67 LI in prostate cancer, as compared to a less pronounced role of Bcl-2, and p53. We identified syndecan-1 as a new prognostic factor and provide evidence for an androgen-dependent regulation of CD-10 expression.
The performance of major liver resection without a blood transfusion is a realistic objective.
