Axl and prostasin are biomarkers for prognosis of ovarian adenocarcinoma

P Chen, Q Li, Z Yang - Annals of diagnostic pathology, 2013 - Elsevier
In this study, the protein levels of Axl and prostasin in malignant neoplasms of the ovary and
their clinicopathologic significance were investigated. The protein levels of Axl and prostasin
in ovarian adenocarcinomas (n= 80), serous cystadenoma (n= 15), mucinous cystadenomas
(n= 15), and normal ovary tissues (n= 10) were measured using immunohistochemistry. The
percentage of Axl-positive cases was significantly higher in ovarian adenocarcinoma
(61.3%) than in mucinous adenoma tissues (13.3%; P<. 001) and normal tissues (0.0%; P …
