Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main etiologic factor for cervical cancer and its types are classified into low and high oncogenic risk according to their capability of inducing invasive tumors. We studied 978 paraffin-embedded anogenital biopsies (730 cervical plus 248 extracervical) for the presence of […]

Chromosome 18q allelic loss (c18q LOH) seems to have prognostic significance in stage II colorectal carcinoma. In our laboratory c18q LOH was prospectively analyzed in a series of primary colorectal tumors using five markers (D18S55/58/61/64 and 69). Results of 207 PCR-based assays […]

Multiple studies using primary tumors have reported that alterations in p53 expression and detection of TP53 mutations are associated with clinical aggressiveness and poor response to specific therapies.  However, there is no general agreement regarding the optimal technical approach to the analysis of p53.  We have studied a series of […]

HER-2/neu is a critical marker in assessing the molecular profile of breast cancer, as it represents a target for therapeutic intervention. HER-2/neu gene amplification has been reported to be associated with treatment response. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect HER-2/neu protein overexpression was initially recommended as the technique of choice to assign patients to Herceptin clinical treatment. However, different studies have shown […]
