The metalloproteinase matrilysin is widely expressed in the epithelial tumor cells of malignant
colorectal adenocarcinomas. Approximately 50% of benign adenomas also express low …

Venous invasion (VI) is an independent prognostic indicator in colorectal cancer and may
prompt consideration for adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage II tumors. Recent …

The expression of the metalloproteinase matrilysin in the human colon carcinoma cell lines
SW480 and SW620 correlates with the ability of the SW620 cells to invade an artificial …

The environment of cells within solid tumors is known to be acidic relative to that in normal
tissue, and the viability of tumor cells may depend on mechanisms which maintain …

Background.—Lymph node status is an important prognostic factor in the staging of colorectal
carcinoma. Several adjunctive solutions have been used to increase the yield of pericolic …

Matrilysin (matrix metalloproteinase‐7) plays a part in the initiation and growth of colorectal
tumors; expression of this protein has been implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis. To …

Plastic bread-bac clips have been identified as a cause of local perforation or obstruction at
many sites in the gastrointestinal tract. This study is the largest case series yet reported, …

Venous invasion (VI) is an independent predictor of hematogenous metastasis and mortality
in colorectal cancer (CRC) yet remains widely underreported. Its detection may require …

Venous invasion (VI) is a powerful prognostic factor in colorectal cancer (CRC) that is widely
underreported. The ability of elastin stains to improve VI detection is now recognized in …

Objective Transrectal ultrasound–guided core biopsies of the prostate gland and prostatectomies
