Expression of E-cadherin in prostate cancer in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues: correlation with pathological features

Abstract

Aims: E-cadherin has been studied recently as a potential marker for tumour progression. The present study aimed to assess the expression of E-cadherin in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded radical prostatectomy specimens and to compare its expression with the pathological stage and Gleason score.
