Cardiac metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of gallbladder.

abstract：:Cyclin D1 overexpression is remarkably frequent in several human carcinomas and is believed to be a critical event in oncogenesis. We examined cyclin D1 expression, p53 expression, and the Ki-67 labeling index by immunostaining in human gallbladder mucosa in conditions varying from normal to malignant tissue. We also ...
