Prognostic significance of MUC1, MUC2 and MUC5AC expressions in gastric carcinoma

Abstract

When each of these three markers is evaluated, in the light of clinical and pathological parameters, MUC1 and MUC5AC may be accepted as significant prognostic parameters and may be useful in showing the progression of the tumors; MUC2 may be used in determining the mucinous carcinomas.
