Article: Research from O. Nehls and co-researchers provides new data on colon cancer.(Report)

"This study examined whether the apoptosis-related protein, BAX, or the microsatellite-instability phenotype provide prognostic information in patients with resected colon cancer. A total of 371 stage I-III patients that previously underwent radical surgery were included (mean follow-up 51.8 months)," scientists in Tubingen, Germany report (see also Colon Cancer).

"BAX expression was examined by immunohistochemical staining; high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI+) was determined by assessing the specific marker, BAT26, using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP)-based analysis. High BAX expression was found in 66.4% of patients. MSI+ tumors were ...
