B2 adrenergic receptors and morphological changes of the enteric nervous system in colorectal adenocarcinoma

Abstract

AIM: To study the morphology of the enteric nervous system and the expression of beta-2 adrenergic (B2A) receptors in primary colorectal cancer. METHODS: analysis for comparing the means of more than two groups. Correlations were assessed using the Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: < 0.05] plexuses. CONCLUSION: B2A receptors play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis and can be utilized as prognostic factors. Furthermore, study of the ENS in colorectal cancer may lead to targeted molecular therapies.
