These markers are not reliable prognostic and predictive factors for laryngeal cancers. E-cadherin expression was protected in well-differentiated and less invasive cancers, which maintain their cell-cell adhesions whereas it was reduced in undifferentiated cancers. Positive correlation between E-cadherin and Ki-67 proliferation shows that histopathological differentiation of laryngeal cancers is maintained in spite of the high proliferation index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
