DCC and neoplasm: To clarify possible roles of DCC expression in tumour differentiation and cell kinetics, we immunohistochemically investigated 80 uterine cervical adenocarcinomas (C-ACs), including 31 mucinous (M) and 31 endometrioid (E) lesions, and 18 adenocarcinomas in situ (AIS), along with 39 normal cervical samples.
