Pathophysiology of Musine Expression in Colon Tumors

Abstract

Colorectal carcinomas are among the most common cancers in the world, after skin, lung and breast cancers, and are the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Many different histopathological features that may affect the long-term prognosis after surgical treatment in colorectal carcinomas and explain the different clinical course of patients with similar stages are being investigated. Clearly revealing the histopathological profile of these types of tumors is important in terms of providing patient-based prognostic predictions. In this review article, we discussed the importance of mucin expressions in colorectal carcinomas.
