E-Cadherin Expression and Relationship Between E-cadherin and Growth Patterns and CT Manifestations of Peripheral Pulmonary Carcinoma(PPC) / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To research the calcium dependent intercellular adhesion molecule (E-cadherin,E-cad)expression and the relationship between E-cad and growth patterns and CT manifestations of peripheral pulmonary carcinoma(PPC).Methods In this study,E-cad was tested by immunohistochemical SABC methed in 57 lung cancer specimens and,of which,the histologic study were made in the mass and lung-tumor interface of 33 resected specimens to detect the growth patterns.CT scan was obtained in all cases before operation.Results The results showed that the expresson levels of E-cad was lower in lung cancer specimens than those in adjacent normal lung tissues (?
