Immunohistochemical Expression of Leptin in Colorectal adenocarcinoma and clinicopathological characteristics . Immunohistochemical expression of leptin in colorectal adenocarcinoma and clinicopathological characteristics

초록

Positive rate of leptin expression and intensity have increased according to normal-adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence in same colon cancer patient, and leptin expression correlated with histological differentiation. These results suggest leptin might play a role in colon adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence, and tumor differentiation.
