The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential association between expression of β-catenin and gelsolin, and their influence on the migration ability of colon adenocarcinoma LS180 cells.
The most important markers for discriminating between the groups were CEA (classical carcinoid versus all others), KRas mutation (present in all mucinous cystadeno (carcino)mas), beta-catenin (goblet cell carcinoid versus left sided colonic adenocarcinoma) and chromogranin (goblet cell carcinoid versus right sided colonic adenocarcinoma).
