Expression Levels of Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule (ALCAM/CD166) in Primary Breast Carcinoma and Distant Breast Cancer Metastases

Introduction: Activated Leukocyte Cell Adhesion Molecule (ALCAM/CD166) gained increasing attention regarding tumorprogression and metastatic spread in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to examine ALCAM expression levels in primary breast cancer and distant metastases of the same patient withi...
