Abstract
The evaluation of β-catenin expression in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and its influence on cancer progression. Sixty-one patients who were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction were examined. We evaluated β-catenin distribution in the cell membrane and the cell nucleus in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction type 1 and type 3. Our findings showed lack of a statistically significant difference in evaluation of adenocarcinoma type 1 and type 3 aggressiveness. However, we found a statistically significant association with the T and N stage, although we did not find an effect of them on patient survival. Patients with cellular membrane and cell nucleus staining comprise a group of patients with higher risk of malignancy progression in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction types 1 and 3.
