Dickkopf-3 As a New Potential Marker for Neoangiogenesis in Colorectal Cancer: Expression in Cancer Tissue and Adjacent Non-Cancerous Tissue

Gene expression of Dickkopf-3 (Dkk-3) has been shown to be upregulated in tumor endothelium of colorectal cancer (CRC). For the first time, we analyzed Dkk-3 protein expression in CRC and its potential as a marker for neoangiogenesis. We used tissue microarrays (TMAs) to investigate Dkk-3 in microve...
