Bcl2 and p53 protein expression in metastatic carcinoma of unknown primary origin: Biological and clinical implications. A Hellenic co-operative oncology group study
(1998)We have previously shown that metastatic carcinomas of unknown primary site overexpress several tumor markers as well as the products of the oncogenes c-myc, ras and c-erbB2. We analysed the tissue expression of the protein ...

The clinical significance of bcl-2 overexpression in breast cancer patients - A retrospective study with long term follow up
(2001)We examined by immunohistochemistry the expression of the bcl-2 protein in sixty-eight cases of operated breast carcinoma patients (stage I, II and III) and correlated the findings with the prognosis. In 38.3% of the cases ...
